Has anyones NYD chicks laid any eggs yet? My girls are getting red combs and check out the nesting boxes every day! And my roo has been mounting the older hens! When can I expect my eggs to be fertile(just check for fertility when I make breakfast?)? Its my first time with a roo!

That's good that they are starting to get along.. Im gonna wake up early to let them out. I didn't think I would need to separate them with a dog crate cuz they have been spending the days together in the pen

My chickies are spending their first night in the coop instead of in the shed with the heat lamp! I have been moving them into the shed at dusk but tonight they went right into the coop with the big girls so i decided to let them stay! I just hope they dont get killed by the.older girls if I...

Wow those are beautiful birds!

Yeah just give it time. Maybe on day 23 you can try to pip the shell but give it time first

If its only a day late I would just leave it and wait. Can you hear peeps? They can go over the 21 days, lots of people in.the hatch a long had late hatchers. You may be able to candle and see an internal pip but.it might be better to walk away from.the.incubator lol

Yeah this weather is horrible :( I have mine in a shed with electric and it has 2 heat lamps in the corner because we are getting to negative 8 tonight :( but on the milder nights they sleep on the opposite side from the lights. After the next few nights in teens imgonna do only one light on...

Okau thanks. So its just a molt then and no cause for alarm.

Just a quick.question for everyone with chicks the same age, there are a lot of feathers on the ground in my chicks coop, is that their baby feathers coming out or should I be concerned? No chicks have bald spots
