So I have a mini fridge incubator and the temps I'm able to get is either 98-99 or 99-100 degrees. The heat source is a ring around the top with a pic fan pulling air up through the eggs and blows the air back down around the walls (eggs are pretty much center). My thermostat is set at 103 but...

He is around 2 years old and has always had this. It's not a scared area. It is like the feathers grow in different directions as cowlicks do, but with feathers instead. Has anyone else had chickens like this? Do you know what causes this and if its hereditary? I havn't hatched any eggs...

The comb is telling me male. It's the hackle color that makes me think hen, but your guess will be better then mine. I can't tell if the saddle and hackle feathers are long and pointy or round. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Sorry if it's not the best of picture quality.

I have a couple bantam salmon faverolles in the incubator and on the 15 to 16 day the power went out for almost 24 hours. I tried as hard as I could to keep the temp around 100 degrees but it stayed around 95 with a couple of bad drops to around 80 degrees. Do you think there is any hope?

He/She is a little over 3 weeks old. I know it's early and how hard it is to sex EE. Sorry if pictures are blurry. They were took with a phone. Any opions are welcome. Thanks.

I have a big barred rock rooster who I thought was a hen. Now I know he is a rooster because of his saddle feathers and wattles, his comb isn't that big for a rooster I think and I havn't ever seen him crow or mate a hen. Does he think that he is a hen? and is there any thing I can do to get...

Okay I have wanted to ask this question for a while now. If you have light orange eye color and breed it to a dark black almost eye colored silkie what could the off spring be? Or is there a lot more genetics then just appearance?

Could you take some time to help me. I have a buff silkie hen and i'm not sure of her buff color, Its like a splash under coat or something. I know nothing of genetics. At the tips of her wing feathers she has white and blue feathers. I don't know who her parents are. And what would the...
