    Swollen abdomen on hen

    I don't have any pictures yet, but one of my chickens has a "pouch" looking spot below her booty that's puffy and seems to be full of fluid, id had a chicken laying just a sac with egg whites and no yolk or shell so I thought maybe she had perinitis or whatever its called, so I separated her...

    Getting olive eggs the hard way

    My only problem is all of my olive eggers seem to have a hereditary amount of being terrified of everything that moves and I can't handle them like i do the rest of my chickens 🤔

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I was loading my girls up with some food and treats and water before leaving for a few days so they wouldn't need me while I was gone! My toddlers thing is to rip up grass clippings and throw them into the run for the chickens

    Getting olive eggs the hard way

    Definitely rewarding, Overall ended up with 10/10 successful hatch on our incubation, and 7 were roos 😂 and 2 of the 3 hens ended up being the olive eggers. I had 2 or 3 of each hens eggs in the incubator so it was a real roll of the dice since they're all different breeds combined with the...

    Olive Egger laying brown eggs?

    I know this post is a little older but I had the same experience! Apparently the blue egg gene is recessive compared to brown egg gene, I had a roo that was a cross like yours and also a hen and all my EEs look exactly like your pictures. I just made a post about breeding the roo and brown egg...

    Getting olive eggs the hard way

    so I got 6 chicks about a year ago, 2 of them were straight run olive eggers. One was a Roo and the other laid brown eggs with speckles🤦. But then I incubated some eggs from the olive egger rooster and olive egger hen and, behold! The babies laid their first eggs this week at 14ish weeks and lay...

    First ever hatch! 10/10 are hatched as of 10:00

    I'm so excited now that I witnessed the hatching of my last egg on my first ever hatch, and these eggs were laid by my own first flock! And on the night before Easter! I had no clue what a hatch along was when I tried to set them to hatch for Easter haha it's been a heck of an experience

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    That's kind of what I was thinking too! And the 2 that didn't develop I think we're either unfertilized or I had them on the shelf too long before incubation, I cracked them into the sink and it was just a yolk

    No vent holes on chinese incubator

    I have a 35$ cheapo incubator for my first hatch, 10 out of 12 eggs have embryos and I'm on day 18. I've seen reviews of this one with fluffy chicks running around inside that also had ducks in the same batch so I think I'm good but there's no obvious ventilation. Unless the lip around the dome...

    Day 8 candle

    I had 12 eggs in my truck incubator and my Candled them last night and only one out of 12 had no development! Pretty exciting for my first ever hatch and the hens the eggs came from aren't even 6 mo old yet! Also no complaints about the Amazon 35$ incubator
