    What colour?

    Thanks, I was thinking like a millefleur pattern but mottled is probably more likely

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    Good luck! I was worried when I received these shipped eggs but they hatched out just fine for me in the end!

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    If possible, keep them standing straight up instead of on their side during lockdown. It always helps when hatching Eggs with damaged air cells. You can use an egg carton and just stand the egg up in there.

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    I’ve had saddled air cell eggs hatch out but it depends on the severity of the saddle. The issue is the saddled cell will obstruct the natural position of the chick as it gets ready to hatch. The chick can easily be forced into a bad position and never be able to pip out.

    White copper maran?

    The legs are not feathered. The white chick is significantly bigger and has thicker legs than the maran chicks. The breeder said the only other possibility is red sex link but I didn’t realize they laid dark brown eggs as well. All the eggs that hatched were basically the same colour.

    White copper maran?

    I’m hatching eggs that were sold to me as black copper marans. They pipped today and from what I could see of their beaks, most were black in colour. One just hatched tonight and turned out to be an all white/yellow chick. Were the eggs not black copper marans afterall or is it possible for...

    Coldest weather where hen can still successfully hatch and raise chicks?

    What is the coldest weather you've had a hen successfully hatch and raise chicks outdoors? The temperature outside is currently in the 40s on average. Will my broody hen be able to hatch and raise her chicks in this temperature? Obviously they will be completely sheltered from the elements.

    Could be a millefleur? Does he have feathered legs?
