Please note the last picture is one of the chicks that required a lot of assistance coming out the egg, not as fluffy as the rest but the most energetic
So out of my 10 eggs 3 ayam cemanis hatched, 1 cream legbar and 2 cross between legbar and Belgian Denver .. The stand are now a week old how can I tell if they are hens or cockerels
Ok so its day 21.. well 9 hours to go until its complete 21 Days
No sign of any egg cracking, 1 Egg is just moving a little , not opening the incubator.
If I listen for long enough I can here 1 faint chirp
surely by now out of the 12 remaining eggs at least half should be showing signs of...
Hi guys..
so its day 19 of my incubation of 12 Eggs (started with 13 1 broke as it collided with the rotation arm), 6 Ayam cemani, 4 Leg bars, and 2 Random mix of brown hens.

Thanks everyone. Well iv just bought some ayam Cemani Hatching eggs so my flock will be growing over the months.
The cockerel will be replaced, any recommendations for something that will 'Rule the roost' as such
I have a Belgian Denver cockerel and a Cream leg bar hen along with 4 other hens, the Cockereal does not have a problem with the other hens but finds it difficult and in most case fails to mate with the Leg bar which is twice its size and very fast, anyone had this type of problem.. maybe its...
Hi
