I need help knowing whether to intervene or if there is anything I can do. I have a hen laying on eggs. 2-3 of them are due to hatch tomorrow. I looked in there right now and saw this under her… it looked more like the egg was smashed than the chicken was hatching but I’m not sure.. I have six...

Who wants to play the whos a roo game with me?! I’m not new to owning chickens. I’ve had chickens for about 5 years. But I’ve always gotten “lucky” and never gotten a rooster. It was just a preference not to have one. I wouldn’t mind having ONE this go around but now I’m getting a little...

Thank you… I may need to get some more close ups of the Ameraucanas just to be sure!

I do not have a picture currently but when I can get one I will post it. Thanks!

Yeah I guess I am… I also just assumed that they told me that there was a 50/50 chance of the eggs being male or female and I thought it wouldn’t be likely that all eight would be hens… and then it seems like the eggs are fertilized, so I thought we must have a rooster but I also thought that I...

Can you explain why it’s a female? I had a broody hen hatch 8 (mixed breed) eggs (not her own). They ALL look like females to me but my eggs are now fertilized so obviously atleast one in the bunch is a rooster. This and one other was the only one that I had suspicions of. I thought for sure...
