    What colour?

    Thanks, I was thinking like a millefleur pattern but mottled is probably more likely

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    Good luck! I was worried when I received these shipped eggs but they hatched out just fine for me in the end!

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    If possible, keep them standing straight up instead of on their side during lockdown. It always helps when hatching Eggs with damaged air cells. You can use an egg carton and just stand the egg up in there.

    Snowflake bobwhite air cell damage/abnormality? 11 days of development w/ picture

    I’ve had saddled air cell eggs hatch out but it depends on the severity of the saddle. The issue is the saddled cell will obstruct the natural position of the chick as it gets ready to hatch. The chick can easily be forced into a bad position and never be able to pip out.

    What am I?

    It’s all grown up now. The egg was supposed to be a copper maran but obviously it’s not. Any ideas on the breed now?

    What am I?

    Hatched April 1st from a brown coloured egg. It was almost all white but now it’s getting more and more brown feathers. What breed and gender could it be?

    White copper maran?

    The legs are not feathered. The white chick is significantly bigger and has thicker legs than the maran chicks. The breeder said the only other possibility is red sex link but I didn’t realize they laid dark brown eggs as well. All the eggs that hatched were basically the same colour.

    White copper maran?

    I’m hatching eggs that were sold to me as black copper marans. They pipped today and from what I could see of their beaks, most were black in colour. One just hatched tonight and turned out to be an all white/yellow chick. Were the eggs not black copper marans afterall or is it possible for...

    Coldest weather where hen can still successfully hatch and raise chicks?

    What is the coldest weather you've had a hen successfully hatch and raise chicks outdoors? The temperature outside is currently in the 40s on average. Will my broody hen be able to hatch and raise her chicks in this temperature? Obviously they will be completely sheltered from the elements.

    The no-turn experiment

    I was interested to see the effects of turning on eggs. It is generally agreed upon that turning is necessary for incubating eggs but I have seen a few sources that claim it is unnecessary. I started with 6 quail eggs. I incubated them at 99.5, 40% for 7 days with no turning. On day 7, I candled...

    Baby pigeon care

    @CCUK @jak2002003 The pigeon had a lot of blood in its droppings. It also kept shaking its head and couldn’t keep it up. I did notify the seller but I’m not sure how/if he’ll check his own flock. He did offer me a replacement but this is all so tragic and really discouraged me so I think I’m...

    Baby pigeon care

    Unfortunately the pigeon passed away over the weekend. He was lethargic and never made a sound since I got him. He was always sitting down and trying to sleep. At first I thought it was because he was just calm/relaxed. The vet said he had head trauma and internal bleeding. I have no idea how...

    Baby pigeon care

    @CCUK @Qwerty3159 Thank you for the advice. Do you know what colour he is or will be once he’s grown up? Is there a specific name for the colour?

    Baby pigeon care

    It has not made a single sound so far. Is that normal? It seems very calm and peaceful. I put a bowl of water and some seeds with gamebird starter mixed in. I saw it drinking and picking at some feed.
