Has anyone ever hatched Crevecoeur eggs? Are they difficult to hatch? Any tips? I raise purebred Silver laced barnevelders right now and just ordered Crevecoeur and mottled houdan eggs. I know some breeds are harder to hatch than others. I have a sportsman 1502.

These ones are all about 7 months old right now. I hatched them this spring

Here's another photo of my roos. They all look very similar. I assume that's a good thing.

I need help with guidance of how to choose roosters for the silver barnies. I always thought that the whiter they are the better for breeding stock? I am trying to breed very nice barnies. This is my first time getting into purebreds. I got eggs from 3 breeders so I have diversity in my...

The food was out of it but it is huge. So she's digesting the food. She's walking around with no neck again too. I have a friend bringing me a small kennel to use this morning. I will isolate her in it in the coop with water again and get it cleared out. Would this be sour crop? Even...

I have a 7 week old silver laced barnevelder that I thought had sour crop. I brought her in this morning after taking the food away all night last night. I found a YouTube video of a mix of some herbs and lemon juice and water. I syringed it to her a couple times, by the end of the afternoon...
