Ameraucana egg - all the others hatched at 21. I cracked it early on by accident but covered the crack w second skin and it continued to develop. This is so weird. Do I call it?
Posting the video as its own thread (I have another where it’s a comment) so hopefully it gets some views w responses.
I have a male and female that I hatched and raised together. Whenever they get in the water, the male hops on her. He doesn’t appear to be too rough - isn’t holding her head under water or staying on very long. But how do I know if it’s too much before I find out the hard way and she’s hurt...
My roo is tearing up some of my girls’ backs and wings. I put saddles with flaps on, but then they can’t get to their gland. What’s the schedule of removing them so they can preen, or are they too big? Should they be able to reach their gland?
I cracked an egg early on in incubation; it didn’t leak so I used second skin and incubated it with the rest. Everyone else hatched yesterday and the day before. The cracked egg has veins, it looks viable, but at what point do I call it? No internal pip, either.
They are shipped - that explains it! I let them sit at room temp for a day before incubating - was there a way to see the saddled air cell prior to incubating? This is only my third time and the first two were not shipped.
I hope I don’t get mutants that I have to cull. Crossing fingers and...
No, it’s just this ring that moves together all squishy. These were shipped eggs so I’m expecting a greater rate of quitters…just hadn’t seen one look like this before.
I have three day old shipped hatching eggs in the incubator and because I couldn’t keep my grubby little hands off them, I cracked one. No liquid so I put second skin on it, but the crack is pretty significant. Also took it off the turner and in a corner so I can control the turns manually.
Not...
Looking for dark and/or purple BCM - 8 or 9 color, Hedemora, and Silverudd (blue - I know they can hatch in splash or black too but looking for a strong blue statistic) hatching eggs. Six of each, max - can be from different farms, shipping now to Indiana. Thanks!
i used this test on two of my Hmong. One was fm/n and the other fm/fm. Both were fibro I would have never known about the N if I hadn’t tested. So cool!
