Took another couple out last night Only 13 left in bator and I'm only happy with 3 of them, might be a small hatch. Must remeber to ring the lady up the road and get the next lot of eggs ordered. Good luck for Sunday Fluffy!

Took out the 'ring of death' eggs last night. They have definately stopped growing. So only 16 left in the bator. Heres hoping they all hatch!

I got two Aruacana hens and an Aruacana rooster about 2 weeks ago now. They seem to be a little slow? Definatley not like any other chickens we've ever had. They sleep ontop of the coop even in the rain and even though they have free range during the day, they stay in one corner of the yard...

Sad to hear about the possible quitting egg From my experience if you can see the ring of death circling the whole egg, then its a gonner. And if the veins are really hard to see, its like they almost get reabsorbed when they stop growing, i guess its just cos you can't see any blood flowing...

Good morning all Well we candled last night. started with 24 eggs Pulled 5 out with no development And another 4 look like they have a ring of death But we've left them in and will pull them next candling if they haven't grown an more. Was kinda funny as they still looked at the same stage...

All seems well in the hovabator today. A little stinky, but I think its from the outside of the eggs? The eggs came from a friend so I'm not 100% sure how fresh they are Violet - I can knit you a sweater!! or teach you We're getting 2 or 3 lambs soon to bottle feed and teach to walk on a...

How can I help her? We picked her up on Tuesday and shes been wheezing since. Shes separate from everyone else in case it's catching. Is there anything I can do? Shes got a warm place to sleep and gets the sun in the day.

The lack of wattles in a bird that size I say Pullet!

Shes not a bantam but shes definately smaller than a standard bird. Shes full black with silver stripy - lace neck. Thanks heaps

heres a better photo of the first chick

These chicks are 13 weeks old and I'm still confused as to whether they are cockerals or pullets?! I'm pretty sure the one with the fire-ry neck feathers is a roo but sometimes I think???? maybe not? Their mothers were brown shavers and an unknown father. Any insight appreciated. Thanks

Thanks heaps Andrew I should have just asked you first!

Hi all, I am designing a website for New Zealand Chicken breeders and chicken lovers to swap eggs and chickens. I would like to have a list of breeds available in New Zealand, I have three of them but I need more pictures. I need pictures of chicks, pullets and cockerals, hens and roosters...

Thank you farmin' Chick Lots of things to consider. I will let the three still developing continue, they're due in 3 days. Then I'll disinfect and sterilize everything. Whats the best way to sterilize the bator?

I haven't had a problem with quitters before but the batch of eggs in my bator now has gone from 10 developing embryos to just 3 still growing. What causes them to stop? Did I do something wrong? Can I prevent this happening to the next batch of eggs? The eggs were given to me by a neighbour...

My big Barred Rock Roo - Tex has gone. He lived a happy and long life and I hope he's walking better and is happier now. All your babies will be sad today, but happy your're out of pain. RIP Texy
