    Moving eggs while the chicks are hatching

    This is my first experience with hatching eggs in an incubator, so I have nothing to go by but what I have read, so please bear with me..... I have read that eggs should not be moved when they start to hatch, but the first little guy out has decided to relocate every egg in the incubator. How...

    Any ideas on this breed?

    Mine look like hawks lol . It's funny you say that, that's exactly what I thought about the other in her flock! We ended up with one that must have been older than the rest because it was bigger as they grew and I thought for sure we ended up with some weird sparrow hawk babies! Too funny!

    Not dissapointed at all....when my wife and I bought chicks this year we just told the gal helping us to give us five of everything they had, she just happened to give us six EE's and four ISA's! Great surprise!

    Any ideas on this breed?

    It's about seven weeks old. I'm hoping it's a pullet....it's been a real surprise considering I thought I was getting a production ISA Brown for the eggs! That's what you get buying chicks at the local feed store!

    Barred Rock Experts? Hen or Roo?

    I'm sure they are roo's...I have three that look identical to them. I have two hens and they look much different than the roos....much darker and no red on the head at all...

    How many roosters are too many?

    My wife and I bought forty chicks this spring (straight-run) and sixteen are roosters. I had originally planned on just culling a few of the roosters for the freezer, but now we are both really attached to them and I don't see that happening. Is it fair to the birds to keep that many roosters...

    Thanks, we thought that's what they were, but we have never owned any so we weren't sure
