Found this gal running wild in a subdivision. She was sitting on eggs( we put em in the incubator and hatched em). The hen is about 5-6 lbs lays medium sized cream colored eggs. Pea comb? Yellow legs. Chicks are a mix of colors. [/IMG][/IMG]

Ya know I was thinking about that too. I still had the other chicks in there too. They were just starting to dry but flopping around a bit. Could one have knocked him/rolled him before he was out of his shell good and ripped him and his yolk sac before he was ready to emerge all the way? I just...

It hatched like this and died. It had zipped and was pushing the top part of its shell off. I checked an hour later and it was dead. It did still have a piece of the shell stuck to its bottom. But it was already dead. I pulled it out of the incubator to ck for signs of life n then took this pic...

I had a teenage girl tell me that she was a vegetarian and therefor couldn't eat eggs because they "are baby chickens!" Ok, to each their own but...to be clear I explained that my eggs were unfertilized and would never be a baby. I got a blank stare and then "they are ALL babies and it's wrong...

First Timer here. I have a silkie that has gone broody. I am worried because its awfully hot here in south louisiana right now! Also, can I candle when she steps off for her daily "break?" If so, what day is best? She started setting two days ago... Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for the quick responses! It's torture waiting for these little guys to grow up but Ive really enjoyed them so far. The guessing is half the fun! I have some adult silkies who just started laying yesterday too! LOOOOVE spring time.

Ok, I know everyone has done this before. But lets face it...playing guess that breed never gets old Some of these I am pretty sure on, but input is greatly appreciated. And some...I dunno Pretty sure both my frizzles are roos though...of course
