If I have a cream legbar rooster over opal legbar hens, would the chicks still be autosexing?

Thank you, it helps to get some encouraging words. And the info on what a dead chick in the egg looks like is helpful. That's exactly what the other two looked like.

I only oppened the ones with an internal pip I could see and left the rest. The two that didn't make the external pip didn't look like they had been dead very long.

Well I candled and two had internal pips but when I opened up the egg a little they were dead. Didn't make the external pip in time. One was had a huge airsack, the size was normal at day 18 and two I'm not sure about so I left them. It's hard to know that I might have saved the Yeo if I...

Eggs are at day 22. First time using our DIY incubator. 30 eggs looked good at day 18. 23 hatched on days 20 and 21. Two eggs hatched today, day 22. So I have 5 that haven't pipped. I really want to check those 5 eggs. What if they have internal pips and are dying in there?! I have auto...

They both hatched. It took a bit of extra work, especially for the green egg, but they made it. I think having the humidity at the right place mattered because the egg shell had to crack at weird angle.

Here's another one, it pipped toward the top of the airsach and now it looks like it is zipping down instead of around.

I'm sorry, the pip is at the left end of the egg....

This is then end of day 20. You can't see very well in the pic, but the egg at the too of the picture has a pip at the right end of the egg. So, it's at the top of the airsack. I have never seen this before. Will this chick be able to hatch itself? What happened? I know that I shouldn't...

Thank you! Maybe I'll lower to 99 on day 19 and 98.5 on day 20. That's not as low as the article recommended, but I could see how it goes.

I am going to be putting 30 eggs into lockdown today. I read the hatching 101 and saw the recommendation to lower the temperature at day 19. I've never done that before and I'm a little sceptical and scare to make that change. Is it really a good thing to do? I need some encouragement to...

Around here, a bullet going on someone else's property is tresspassing by the shooter. I don't know if a pellet would be considered the same, but I expect it might be especially when it causes property damage. We've had issues with neighbors doing target practice towards our property. The...

I can go on Facebook. What's the group name?

Hello! I'm in Mulino. A few miles south of Oregon city. I've been on here recently because we built and incubator and I've been checking out helpful info... The eggs are at day 17 now! Right now we have 17 hens and two roosters . We've had chickens for about 13 years. Anyone know of local...

We had a young couple over for dinner, the young man made a comment about our brown eggs: "I'm glad you eat brown eggs instead of those bleached ones you get at the store." He didn't realize chickens lay different colored eggs and assumed all white eggs were brown before they got bleached...

Next time I am going to start at 30 o/o.

To clarify... I turned the humidity down at 7 days after I marked the first line.

I have 35 eggs in a homemade incubator. I think I had the humidity too high for the first week. I had it at 40 -50 percent. I turned it down now to 25 - 30 percent. The marks on the egg are the air sack at 7 days and today at 10 days. What do you think? Should I change the humidity?
