    late development egg death

    What causes chicks to die late in development? I had a batch were only 2 hatched so I eggtopsied the rest. Several looked like they were on day 16 or 17 then I had 4 who had broken the inner membrane but didn't manage to pip. Is this a incubation error? I have more in the bator and want to fix...

    leg bands vs wing bands

    I am looking to get bands to help keep track of my birds a little better. What are people's experiences with leg or wing bands? I've heard leg bands tend to break after awhile plus if you want to band chicks you have to change them frequently while the birds are growing plus you need different...

    Incubating button quail question

    So I'm incubating button quail for the first time I set 20 shipped eggs 3/21. I candled them for the first time tonight and pulled 5 clear ones and I went ahead and eggtopsied them. If they had started and quit I would see veins or blood spots correct? Two of them just had watery yolks, two...

    First time setting shipped eggs

    Thanks for the link very helpful. I've had a few issues with my temp changing even though I haven't opened the incubator and they are in a room that doesn't have majortemp fluctuations.

    First time setting shipped eggs

    So this year I decided to set eggs early. Because of that I couldn't find any local ones so I had to go ahead and have some shipped. This is my first time with shipped eggs so we'll see how things go. I've had my little giant still air going for about two weeks already temp holding steady at 101...

    How many chickens will my coop fit?

    I would have to agree with Mhalzeit. I just let the birds tell me. In the summer I get away with way more birds because they free range and only go in the coop at night if then I have a fair number who choose to roost outside and I'm OK with that despite the risk. I usually cull in the winter so...

    Temperature for hatching eggs.

    Depends on the incubator. I've read anything from 99.5-101 a little cooler for forced air and a little higher for still air. I keep my little giant still air at 100

    Woho first eggs!

    Today all three of my hens laid their first eggs yeah me! Is that usually how it goes? I'm used to chickens where they don't all lay eggs on the same day like this. Also do quail lay eggs daily or not quiet.

    WTB: Modern game Bantam eggs

    Looking for some mgb eggs would love it if they came out of blues, splash, or blacks carrying blue. However I would be interested in other colors just as long as they're from purebred birds.

    Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

    For those of you who show your roos. How long does it take for the comb to heel after dubbing? Also is there any need to separate them after dubbing until things start to heal? I have a roo I'd like to show latter this summer the show is in the middle of July and I'm wondering if I dub him now...

    Silkie thread!

    I was wondering how beards inherit in silkies? Is it just a simple recessive or dominant gene? I have a roo who's not bearded but some of my hens are and just curious what to expect.
