    Is this a developing chick or something else?

    I cracked this egg open this evening that had been collected this morning. We collect eggs every day but normally earlier in the day. Today it was later in the evening when we collected. I just want to know if this was a developing baby or something else. Yes I have a rooster

    Have a question about incubating eggs. Specifically washing them before incubation.

    That makes me feel so much better. Thank you.

    That’s perfect! I’ll give that a try. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, the mud I’m dealing with right now won’t come off with a simple wet towel. I can only get them clean by dipping them in & out of running warm water while wiping off the gunk. Is that to much?

    Have a question about incubating eggs. Specifically washing them before incubation.

    I’ve incubated several eggs successfully last year. I normally only use the eggs that are nice and clean already to incubate. However, this year I want to start back up but my run has become a total muddy mess that I’m trying to dry out. That may not happen for quite a while. The reason why is a...

    Trying to figure out what potential egg coloring I could get from a particular pairing.

    Thank you!

    Trying to figure out what potential egg coloring I could get from a particular pairing.

    I have 2 amazing hens that have gone broody for me. I’m trying to figure out if I should let them hatch some of their own eggs or put my pure breeds under them. Moms are a cream legbar that have been laying sky blue eggs for me for the last year and a half. Dad would be a Swedish flower hen who...

    Sneaky hen snuck off to go broody. 12 days along. Break or raise?

    She’s being a great momma. I love it when my girls hatch out their own babies. It’s so much fun. I’m just keeping a close eye on her to make sure she keeps the babies warm enough. So far she’s doing great. One of my buff orphingtons loves babies. She never wants to hatch the eggs herself but is...

    She marched right into the coop with them like she owned the place. Beat the shit out of 6 other hens who dared to come over to investigate the chicks. Led them over to the rooster to show them off & he responded by crowing his head off! He’s been super puffed up ever since. A great dad. Will...

    She successfully hatched 4! She’s being a great momma. Very aware of where her babies are & super protective! Only one who can get close to her babies is my rooster.

    I candles the eggs again and only 8 seem to be developing now. That’s a more reasonable number I think. We are going to let her try. If she’s successful then good for her. If not then maybe next spring she can try again. She’s a sweetheart & her momma is my best hen. Pure red speckled Sussex...
