    Thoughts?? on my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte project chickens

    Lol yes I know Jerry Foley has fantastic birds. He really sets the bar when it come to Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chickens. The breeders I bought from claim to have birds directly from him, but I never did call Jerry to prove this true or not. Either way I'm nowhere near Jerry Foley quality. I...

    Thoughts?? on my Blue Laced Red Wyandotte project chickens

    The Blue Laced Red comes in three colors: Blue, Splash, and black. So the birds with quite a bit of black on them are the black color variety.

    How long can I leave a chick in the incubator??

    We have babies! Three have hatched so fare and lots of eggs have lil peep holes and I even saw some rocking... My question is How long can I leave these guys in there? I don't want to take them out and risk shrink wraping the eggs still in the process of hatching?! Thanks

    Candling eggs *please help*

    Thanks for the link! I tried to get pics but none turned out... I looked from the top and say a well formed air cell and blood vessels and lil chicky stuffs... I just wasn't sure if this open space on the other end of the egg was supposed to be there...

    Candling eggs *please help*

    Well that's what I'm not sure of... I think it's just unfilled space at the pointed end?? Is that normal at 14 days of incubation? Nither space, on either end of the egg, moved when I changed the eggs angle...
