Chicken has hatched now. I am pleased it wasn't an assisted hatch. I am picking the chicken might of been confused or something. I have no other explanation for it..... Always learning something new.
Yay I thought your pullet would settle down. I've got a young pullet whose system is glitching at the moment. Every second day she is laying 2 eggs one after the other. The two she layed yesterday had thin shells and had a spot on there side where they looked like they had touched on there way...
I will say this. Please don't beat yourself up over this. These things happen. I'm not sure if I'll be much help as haven't had this happen but I think culling injured chick is for the best. The other you will probably have to wait and see.
Thank you. Waiting game to see if he is aggressive like his father. Hopefully not. He is already alot tamer and I have been able handle him no problem. Would love to keep him😊
Thanks for replying. I will have to wait and see if the little barred rock is aggressive like his father as would love to keep him. So hoping not.
The one you have circled is definitely a male.
Thanks for the reply. I was thinking he was a male. But was a little unsure as I'm not really sure who his dad is. I had a Barred rock male but because he was quite aggressive I hadn't wanted to breed from him. He got moved on. I thought I had incubated eggs from my leghorn male. But maybe not...
