    Does this egg look fertilized?

    I’ve got a young rooster and I just noticed he has been trying to mount my girls. Just wondering if it looks like he’s getting the job yet? I don’t have a very good eye for these things. I’d like to try to incubate some if they’re getting fertilized.

    Hen seems dizzy/off balance/can't hardly stand

    I have a hen with these same symptoms. Did you ever figure it out? I don’t have a single vet near me that is willing to see chickens.

    Odd bulge on eggs?

    I have a RIR hen that is about 2 years old and has laid eggs with the same issue for about a week and a half. They all have this odd, small bulge that is very weak and easily cracks compared to the rest of the shell. The spot is always about the same size on each egg. I tried researching on my...

    Nurture Right 360 temp fluctuating

    Just stumbled upon this thread since I’m having the same issue with the nr360. My averages are good, and temp never falls below 99.5, so I try not to be overly worried. There’s definitely hot and cold spots, though. I’ve identified that the cold is at the back, left side. Any time the Govee...

    Unknown breed, unknown genders?

    Yeah, I knew it was only males, but when I saw no head spots I figured I couldn’t have gotten so lucky as to not have any males out of the 4. I’m used to hatching more roos than hens lately. 😂 So, I assumed they weren’t BSLs after seeing no spots. They did come from XL brown eggs, and that’s...

    Unknown breed, unknown genders?

    I was thinking some sort of mixes. I didn’t see anything identifying them as anything in particular, but I’m also definitely not an expert. All my RIR chicks that hatched with them are easy to tell cockerel vs pullet, but these guys have proven more difficult! I’ll wait and see. Thank you for...

    Unknown breed, unknown genders?

    Hello! A customer on my husband’s route gave him a dozen eggs as a thank you, and I happened to be putting some RIR eggs in our incubator that same day. So, in our empty slots, we popped 4 of the eggs he was given in there with them just to see if they were fertile. They all hatched! We don’t...

    Pullet or Roo easter egger mixes?

    Interesting! I bought these eggs from a lady who has a huge mixed flock, but she said they’d all be Easter egger mixes of some sort. She said all her roosters are Americauna, but she has hens of all different kinds. I didn’t care much what they were, this was just my first year hatching chicken...

    Pullet or Roo easter egger mixes?

    Aw, bummer. That’s what I feared. I somehow ended up with 75% Roos out of this group of eggs, just my luck. They’re so sweet right now, too! :barnie

    Pullet or Roo easter egger mixes?

    Hi all! I’m usually pretty solid at sexing chicks by this age, but this is my first year ever hatching out Easter egger mixes, and I’m completely unsure about 2 in particular. They are about to turn 9 weeks old this Sunday. Each has characteristics that have me wondering. For example, these two...

    What does Tibetan x Jumbo Brown give you?

    Another question if you don’t mind. If I happen to breed a Rosetta with a Jumbo brown in the future, what might that lead to?

    What does Tibetan x Jumbo Brown give you?

    Hey, thanks! After briefly looking at color types online, I wondered if that would be it. I appreciate the response.
