I hatched these two for the Easter hatch a long. They are 7 weeks old. I am not familiar with this breed- Whiting True Blue. From what I read, they can be a variety of colors. The breed lays a beautiful blue egg. Any idea on the sex? The larger one is grey but looks lighter and more colorful in...

Hi BYC. This is just a question, not an emergency. Ok, heres the background. Hatched Black Copper Marans last May. (ended up with 5 hens and a cockerel) Raised them in a look/no touch pen, fully exposed to my older flock of 1 rooster, 6hens. (they had become aggressive egg eaters, even the...

I hatched some eggs from a guy on craigslist. He had a lot of breeds in different pens. I hatched blue and brown eggs. These babies all hatched at the same time, I dont know who came from what egg. The breeder said he was developing F1 olive eggers. I think he was using cream legbars for this...

These goslings are 4 weeks old. I was told the eggs were mixed african and sebastopol. Are these babies mixed or do I have 2 african and 1 sebastopol goslings? The yellow/white gosling has yellow feet and legs. The larger darker ones have dark greenish mottled fee t and legs. I bought eggs...

I have an 8 month old rooster that I am trying to re-home. I would like to tell his new owners what breed he is. He is very sweet and takes good care of his ladies. I hatched some of his eggs and his babies have feathered legs and feet like he does. He has 4 toes. He is about 6 pounds. Any...

Hi. turkey hatching newbie here. I have a young (8 mos) burbon red hen and I love her very much. I just picked up 13 turkey eggs from the post office today. I have experience with chicken hatching, but this is my first attempt at turkey eggs. And they were shipped, adding to my inexperience...

I know the possibility of getting some live turkey poults is low, given my total lack of experience with turkey hatching, but I just came back from the PO with 13 fertile turkey eggs. Throw in the fact that I have never tried to hatch shipped eggs and I am a "nervous nelly" as these eggs sit in...

Ok, my husband means well, but does some questionable things. Last fall he ordered an incubator from China. He wanted to get one with a digital read out. Its from a company called HHD. We tried 3 different hatches to incubate turkeys but none developed. The eggs were from a local auction so we...

Raven is such a sweet young hen. We bought a mixed lot of 13 chicks 6 mos ago and she was included. I am curious if anyone knows what breed or mix she could be. She about the size of my ameraucanas, hasn't showed any red coloring on her face and her earlobes have the slightest sheen of...

I am in the middle of a hatch. 7 chicks emerged full of energy and fluffing quickly. One egg pipped 20hrs ago and started to rip around the egg last nite. This morning the egg had rolled and the rip was down on the liner. Sticky clear fluid was oozing out and the egg was stuck down. I rolled it...
