I have incubated some eggs. Some have pipped and some have zipped but that was around 10am yesterday and they still have not come out. I have one baby chick out now. The others dont seem to have any movement or peeping.
I think this happened from a rooster. What should i do to care for it? Im keeping her separate, and i cleaned the wound. Also i have 3 hens and 3 roosters. She seems like the favorite one to mount. Should i get rid of some of the roosters?
since the breed would be Orpington if I just mixed two different color Orpington for example A lavender Orpington mixed with a buff Orpingtons would it still be a pure breed
