Here is my Copper Maran chick at 7 weeks old, I'm having a super hard time sexing her/him. I first I thought I had a hen, but then she became more vocal and her tail feathers were looking slightly pointed. I have experience with marans however, and I remember one of my Midnight Majesty Maran...

I have a year old Pekin who lost the ability to stand completely upright on one of his legs due to a slipped tendon a long while ago. he gets around just fine by using the leg as a "paddle", and can even run if he flaps his wings a little. because of the lack of usage of his right leg, the claws...

I have a 4.5-ish week old Copper Maran chick, and I was sure she was female until now. I can add photos later once I get some, but I was wondering what behaviours are seen in roos vs hens. This is my only Copper Maran chick so I don't have any others to compare her to, making her difficult to...

I have 2 eggs out of the 5 I started out with that developed normally and made it through the entire growth process with ease. The air sacs looked perfect when I candled them the day of lockdown. its day 23 for one egg, and 22 for the other, and so far there's no pips. I candled them carefully...

My chicken eggs go into lockdown today. I removed one ventilation plug, stopped turning the eggs, and got the humidity up to 60-70%. Is this correct? My incubator has to be opened in order to add water, is this ok? will it affect the hatch rate?

I noticed this egg had a boodring when I candled it this morning. what could have been the cause? A few nights ago, my humidity spiked up to 70% but only for an hour or so. The other eggs seem to still be growing fine, and I'm starting to see heartbeats. Was this the cause of the poor chick's...

I' ve been incubating eggs for about 3 or 4 days now, and yesterday I noticed a little red spot on the some of the yolks when candling them. today the spots are much bigger, (maybe a centimeter in diameter) but I don't see any prominent veins yet. can someone provide an accurate egg candling...

Is there any way to hatch a high percentage of female chicks? I've heard that temperature can affect them. :confused: Any tips? We'd like to add more hens to the flock.
