    Help!!! They're not able to pip!

    We had half a dozen bantam eggs in the incubator. 3 hatched and 1 survived. Then we had 7 that were due to hatch 4 days ago. Again, 3 hatched and 1 survived. This time I decided to investigate. What I found was that the little guys had pipped through their membranes, but they couldn't pip...

    6 Roosters! Who should I keep???

    I have a black jersey giant, 2 silver laced wyandottes, a Columbian wyandotte, a welsummer, and a Cornish. I don't have a way to separate every breed. I can successfully keep 2 roos. Which 2 breeds are in higher demand? I do want to hatch some purebreds. Any of these easier to sex? Thx!

    Stray chicken. She's a beauty! Need opinions.

    Is someone playing a joke on you? I read that it takes a hen 23 hrs to lay an egg. My guess is your 12 WK olds are older than you thought. I have 8 WK olds that still have some down on their necks...

    How soon to mix

    I would wait a couple weeks, or gradually introduce them when you can supervise, and then separate when you can't. I have 6 wks and 4 wks. I started introducing them last week. Started by putting cage in coop. Then I turned out the older ones out of the coop, and let the babies have run of the...
