update,things arent goin too smoothly at all,i find my clear norwich hens r not sitting on their eggs after laying their clutch,bit disheartining but we soldier on,on the sticks so far ive 6 norwich,6 mini mules.ive 3 norwich a few days old,3 due t,row under feeder,2 siskin mules due thurs.from a white fife,6 pied greeny eggs in the 1 nest due sat........i have ran the finches with my norwich hens for the secound rd.to try for mules[if the dopey gits will ever sit]so am expectin alot of clear eggs

atrange game is muling,i have a huge cock finch paired to a big typey yellow cin.norwich hen,he threaded her serveral times,a still her eggs were clear,then i have a nice peathroat in with a clear yellow norwich,he never as much as gave her a glance a she has 4 birded eggs for him :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: they r now under my best green feeder norwich,we will see if this theory usin peathroats throws clear mules,the yellow hen is 3rd generation of clearblood norwich
