    Help,hatching ,how long to wait for progress

    Well I ended up helping the first one out after the next one was completely hatched (and it didn't even pip till about 7 hrs later) and they are both fine. The first egg still only had a small hole ,16 hrs or more after it first pipped. Sadly my 6 other eggs did not hatch . I'm sure they wont...

    Help,hatching ,how long to wait for progress

    Thanks,I just don't want to loose any if i don't have to. I know what you are saying about the natural selection ,I am just worried it would be because something I did ,like not having the right humidity. How do you know if it is in obvious distress though? If you see no movement ,no progress at...

    Hello ,I don't know all the correct terminoligy,I just searced and found a lot of piping and zipping but I'm not sure what exactly it means. I'm only on day 20 (buff Orps in bator) but heard chirping yesterday. Now there has been a tiny triangle broken out of one egg (is that the pip or...

    How long before I can let my new chickens free range?

    Thanks all! Yes I know,I somehow never got used to the 'hen' term,I'm always calling the girls 'chickens' I will let them out in a few days ,when I have a day off work and have time to watch closely. Brahma Roos are supposed to be pretty laid back and my 2 roos are too (that's why I keep them)...

    Hatching eggs almost $400 auction? Why?

    No,No,don't need any golden eggs! I'm more in the free or cheap category!I'm not serious enough about chickens that way. But it is fascinating and hey if people can afford to spend that kinda money,go for it. BTW,not sure if you understood the 'give a new egg a break ' comment was for people...

    Hatching eggs almost $400 auction? Why?

    Hey ,I'm really not dissing that guy,GOOD FOR HIM! I'm just curious how and why ,that's all. Will this be a registered breed then? How do you get to that point?

    Hatching eggs almost $400 auction? Why?

    Ok,I'm new to this but seen the auction for the silver laced brahma eggs that is near $400 now. Are these just SLW crossed with light Brahmas in the beginning? And it takes 20 years of breeding to get them to breed true? Is that why they are so much? If I do the same cross ,will the first...
