I have one cockerel with six hens/ pullets.
Only three of my girls are laying at the moment. He seems to only have eyes for one hen. I'm wanting Fertile eggs and he's not doing his job. How do I get him to service all the girls? At least the ones that are laying. ??? Thanks
Hi Southern Oregon Peeps~
ISO Fertile Silkies Eggs
Any bearded Silkie Breeders out there close to me? I have a new incubator I'm dying to use and my hens aren't laying yet.
Thanks
HAS ANYONE USED AN EGG O METER?
When using the regular egg size egg-o-meter with small Silkie eggs in a still air incubator .... do i need to adjust temp. up because bigger egg sits higher up in warmer air? i feel i should be running it on 100.5.... ???

Anybody ? Thanks~
I realize she is too young at 5 days .... but i got the pictures to down load :) She has a red mark on her face... hoping that is on the females too :)
I now have 3 eggs from my now hen... i saw her mated three days before first egg...so i'm pretty sure the eggs are fertile . However the eggs are on the small size....not too small for first eggs...
should i wait? Is the shell too small or does nature know what it's doing???
Thanks in advance...
