    Uneven incubation

    I’m letting one of my bantam Cochins snatch 13 bantam eggs for me, she’s been sitting on them for about 3 weeks and I keep waiting for them to pipp but they haven’t. When I candled them, at least 10 were fertile, but whenever I check on her and her eggs the other birds have laid eggs under her...

    Only 2 chicks?

    We have a rooster and 8 hens, and plan on keeping one of the babies we hatch this summer and one porcelain D’uccle from our friend so we can sell our current rooster and two of our (not so nice) birds.

    Easter Egger or Americana ?

    while it is true that ameraucaunas are different from EE as they are a true breed, americaunas are misspelled on purpose so that hatcheries and places like Rural king and TSC can sell them as a true breed and for more money without the buyers realising.
