    Is Something Wrong With Ethel???

    It certainly looks delayed with respect to the others. But it also looks different from the others. It seems to be the only one that has feathers on its legs.

    Possible colour of chicks..??

    Also, I think so. The rooster carries the gene E ^ b / E ^ b while the hen carries the gene E / E The children will be all E / E ^ b and will show the dominant color black.

    To get fertile eggs from 2 silkie hens...

    It is a good answer. In any case better to bring the rooster to the hens. The advantage is that you know the father and the mothers, something that with purchased eggs is never easy to know. It could be that the hens despise it but, having only one, it has to be very young or very bad for that...

    Purebreed?

    Totally agree. It is not a good rooster for exhibition or for breeding or stallion of the breed. But that may have little importance for those who do not intend to present their roosters and chickens in exhibitions and competitions, for those who do not intend to sell their roosters and chickens...

    New laying delay...

    Ontario - White Rock Broiler vs Cornish X?

    Hello friend of Ontario. Ontario catches me very far but the chickens are the same and have the same problems here in Spain. It is also true that there is too much information on the Internet that is not always easy to assimilate. I have a friend who suffered the attack of a predator that killed...

    Janoel12 incubator

    I have never incubated quail eggs but I have read enough to guide you. Incubators are usually sold with an instruction manual that is convenient to consult since there are different models and different systems. I understand that in the Janoel12 the laid eggs are placed and the automatic turning...

    Hen scared of eggs??

    I have never seen it or heard of that behavior. Chickens usually prefer to put where another laid an egg and do not distinguish themselves or others at the time of start to incubate. It is enough that there are several eggs in the nest for her maternal instinct to wake up, especially the older...

For the moment I have to settle...
