Thank you I’ll hang on the the 3rd and 4th a bit longer and see if I hear crowing...it’s hard at the moment because there are a lot of roosters but they are going today so we’ll see what happens! The 3rd one looked like a cockerel from a young age but as it’s grown it’s looking more pullet to me...
Hi all! I have a couple of birds I need help sexing if you guys don’t mind...I’m new to this and some stand out but a few have me guessing...thanks in advance!
Thanks guys I removed the shell only around him so he didn’t have to zip and gave him the night to fully make sure he’d absorbed all the yolk. He was the last man out from 25 eggs so I knew he should be ready and completely removed the shell this morning there was a sticky slime covering him not...
Thanks! I’m so excited after watching two loads of eggs die I have the most perfect bubba and I got the pentagon incubator with 15 chicks hatched waiting to come out!
So I had two bodged hatches (incubator issues it turns out the new one worked!) but 10 days into my second hatch I got my first egg from a new frizzle rooster. I thought I could just put it in to find out if it was fertile or not. Turns out it was and even though he’d been through humidity hell...
So I raised the humidity up to 70% on Monday and yesterday she still hadn’t hatched and I’d heard chirping for over 24 hours so I ended up intervening. She was completely shrink wrapped and I’m assuming all the others were too I wish now I’d opened them up. Is this because I broke lock down? The...
No I don’t the egg is now very gently rocking so I’m assuming I’m on day 18 now I haven’t had success incubating so far so I was hoping someone might be able to tell me from the pic
Hello! I’ve had two failed hatch attempts and think the second was due to too high humidity during the whole incubation process but the problem is 5-10 days into the last hatch I got a frizzle rooster and was so excited to see if he was fertile I put the first one of his eggs in just to see if...
Thanks for the replies I will try your tips just with my own eggs atm. I had the humidity down to 20-30% at the start but to my inexperienced eyes it looked like the air sacs were growing too quickly so I increased to 40%. We’ve just come off the end of winter so maybe now spring is here I won’t...
