    Deformed chick

    This chick just hatched a day late and I was not able to capture it's face but the face is a bit deformed as well. Will it survive or should I put it out of it's misery.

    Thoughts on these chicks breed?

    Thanks for checking in, I figured it would be hard to tell but for instance there are 3 black ones, they look the exact same but I think from different colored eggs so I was curious as to how they look the same. If you know what I mean I'm not experienced in genetics but since those 3 came out...

    Thoughts on these chicks breed?

    My cockrell is a speckled Sussex and the hens vary but I don't have 2 of the same breed in the coop, all are different. I had 19 eggs incubating and so far 11 have hatched and 5 more are still in the process as I'm writing this. I know some are specked Sussex but the yellow and black ones I'm no...

    Any thoughts on these genders?

    These 2 are from the first time I ever incubated eggs. They both are white leghorn mix and the black ones tail feathers and such have grown faster than the other chick. Any thoughts? Thank you for reading!

    “Duckling” is gone 🙁

    Imo if feathers are scattered a predator is the first thing that comes to mind. If you live in an area with minks I've had one kill only 1 bird and drag it out of the pen (that's how I found it's entry point). Is that a possibility? And I'm sorry that happened.

    I haven't rotated them at all and they've been sitting for 4 days should I restart?

    What breed rooster does this look like?

    Was always just kind of curious what kind of rooster this is, I bought it out of an assorted group of chicks along with some others but none of them looked like him in the end. He's rather small but I thought he was kind of pretty. Thank you.

    So you would say they are okay to preserve for 7 days? The best I could do was put an ice pack on it and it would get around 60° on average.

    Help with making the right choice.

    I have a 22 egg incubator. I'm going to try to incubate as many as I can. I just need some advice because it is winter and the temperature is usually between 25 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit outside. I have no other way of preserving eggs. I have close to 20 hens and 2 roosters. But I am only...

    Help with incubation

    Yes, I only had 1 hen laying at the time. I hope I didn't drown the others. I just opened an egg that was 4 days late to see what happened. I saw no movement from candling and it seemed like there was loose parts just floating around, but it was still alive... I felt horrible. It seemed to be...
