I know, I didn't expect any to survive so I was surprised when I realized I had two!
Rhode Island Reds?
I don’t think real RIR. RIR are an older breed that doesn’t lay > 300 egg a year and it therefore not commercially interesting to keep. Organic farmers need to make a living just as well as factory farmers.
It’s not a very good idea to hatch a single chick without a broody/company.Candled the eggs today. I think Scout(store bought egg) has died. I am not sure if the Easter egger is alive either but I will keep up hope for both.
Can you buy some chicks if this one hatches on his own? Or buy more eggs asap from a byc keeper with a rooster that doesn’t put the eggs in the fridge.
Wonder why they do that in the US. Eggs don’t need fridge temp to store them.
