    Hatching Help

    Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately no more hatched. We had lost one as it was hatching. The others had all died I would say around my last candling at day 19. I bought a hydrometer and thermometer and am now waiting on another batch to hatch in the incubator. Hopefully this time I have...

    Hatching Chick Help!

    Unfortunately when I tried to pull it back the chick didn’t move and had passed away. None of my other chicks hatched out of 17. I’m on day 24 now. I only had 3 make it. I’m not sure what went wrong. I would assume temperature just because I realized after incubation that I should never rely on...

    Hatching Chick Help!

    I asked a question yesterday about baby chicks that I’ve been incubating, now I have another. So two days ago 2 out of 17 eggs we’ve been incubated hatched. Then 1 piped that night/next morning.

    Make or female?

    Yes these are our first chickens. Luck would have it that all but one ended up males. Haha. But we do have a large area they can free range in. We may try and get more hens and see how they act together. If not good I’ll just sell the other males off.

    Make or female?

    That’s what I was thinking. Now if I get more hens what are my chances of being able to keep all these guys? Haha

    Make or female?

    I’m new to chickens and am having a hard time deciding if my chickens are male or females. I know the legbar is a roo. I think the white one is too, but I’m not for sure. I can’t tell if the black one is male or female. Any help would be awesome, thank you in advance!
