My questions is: does the Producer’s Pride Sentinel XL coop come pre-treated/varnished, or do you have to paint it with your own coat of paint? Thanks if anybody responds, need to find out and don’t want to waste time on extra work if not needed (I also like the color of the coop already.) I’ve...
Thanks for the quick response and that really clears it up now! I see… that is totally fine with me, the chick is still cute! Just got my info a little scrambled I guess, this makes more sense now.
Somehow, and I’m dumbfounded by this, the Turken x Ameraucana mix which hatched has neck feathers?! I may be mistaken, but for the longest time I’ve known for a fact that the Turken gene in chickens is always dominant, no matter what the cross is? Am I right? I thought that they only needed one...
Alright, everything sounds fine. Personally my humidity stays around 35% because I do dry hatch but your wet hatch should work as well. I’m thinking that you should let the egg stay in the incubator for another day because it doesn’t seem to be very rotten or definitely dead. Maybe put it away...
It works now!
So, I’m seeing the veins like you said. Looks like the chick is where it is supposed to be size-wise, taking up most of the shell. Not much movement for sure.
There does not appear to be a blood ring, and you said that the egg did not smell too much. Those are normally the signs...
Videos show as private but I’d say if it is day eighteen and the egg seems to have a blood ring around it or a suspicious smell, feel, or surface, then toss it or crack it open. However, if you want to check the egg again later and see if the chick is alive, you may find that the egg could’ve...
I believe some breeds or individuals will just not lay very much. For example, a Red Star pulley may lay an egg every single day of the week, while a more ornamental breed such as a polish, silkie, or Crevecoeur may only lay two or three eggs a week. Sometimes the chickens will just altogether...
Hello. Just wondering if anyone knew about genetics and breeding say, an Ameraucana rooster with a Crevecoeur hen, and if it would result in crested offspring?
No way to tell for sure if the eggs are definitely a Crevecoeur or just an Andalusian or leghorn, but best guess says two in the...
