    Sexing of chicks

    Thanks. We did not squish anything , we were actually cleaning the stuck droopings off them when we just decided to look to see if there was any difference in it. Some older man told us that the males would have a bump (manly hood) above their bum , and the hens would not so we wanted to see if...

    Sexing of chicks

    Fully Developed Chicks/But not hatching

    There was no peeping in the egg shell , and this was the only hatch that was 3 days late , even though we have had this problem in all our hatches, I am unsure of the humity level, we just make sure we add water every day it needs it , and we do what we are supposed to do.

What could be causing...

    Day 22 and no pips(UPDATE)

    No worries yet, we had ours to start hatching on day 21 and it is now day 23 and they are still hatching. We had never had any to hatch past day 19 or at least start to hatch so this was a strange hatch for us too. Seems like there is a lot of people with these late hatchings right now. Good luck
