    Help We can't tell the chicks apart.

    Having hatched all of those you have mentioned, the best advise I ca offer is this (assuming all are females) -Welsummers tell tale sign is the dark brown "eyeliner" that runs parallel through their eyes back their head -Barnevelders tend to be a little darker than the welsummers and will have...

    Worried I have a rooster

    Roosters have 2 sets of barring genes. Both are pullets. A rooster would be much more white by now.

    What age did your roo start crowing?

    They were in their brooder in my garage. I was out there messing around and heard this noise and was like "what on earth is that". Finally realized it was coming from my brooder so i sat ad watched. Sure enough one little roo was perched on the heater trying to crow. Lol. It was really funny.

    Question about newly lying pullets and egg color

    I was thinking at least three as well. I mean is it even possible that it is only one bird laying all these within a week span with so much variation?

    Question about newly lying pullets and egg color

    So just last week I got my first egg. Since then Iv'e gotten 7 (1 froze). My question is this (pic below): Do these eggs look like they could have been laid from the same pullet? If not, how many pullets does it look like I have laying? There seems to be quite a color and size/shape variation...

    So youre temps are pretty good then. The humidity that you are running is very high to me.

    Low hatch rate! what am I doing wrong?

    If this is a still air incubator, your temps are a little low. For a still air, temp should be about 102. Also, your humidity is really high for days 1-18. I keep mine around 30-35 for the first 18 and then bump to about 55-60 for the last three days. The low temp explains why your chicks are...
