Hello all!
I have two maybe (3?) Blue laced red wyandotte roo's for sale. two are black or maybe double laced black (idk) and the questionable one is blue....
I would like them ideally to go somewhere they will be king of a flock, but if you are eating them I dont want to know about it. lol...
I hatched out 13 BLRW chicks about 2-3 weeks ago, one died and that left me with 12 now.
Yesterday or the day before, I noticed that one of them has a single comb...
I thought they are suppose to have rose combs?
Does this mean that my chick is a rooster?!? I have no idea what is going...
ugh, i know it comes with owning chickens, I knew it was a matter of time, and I might lose one, and/or have to put a chick down at some point in my life, but i was hoping not with these, that i payed for, mailed to me, babied, checked on, hatched, and stayed up all night long making sure they...
i currently have 13 chick in one big brooder, some are pooping foam, idk if its the same one every time or just some of them some of the time, and now one of my chicks is acting kinda funny.
She is acting sleepy, but not just run around crazy chick then take a nap sleepy, it seems like she...

these are 4 of my BLRW that just hatched. (the one standing in back is a lav orp)
All of my BLRW are this darker color except this little one in front right....
Is she a splash?
I have egg's in lock down right now, yesterday my first egg pipped at 1:05 pm
its now 7:30am the next day, little itty bitty progress, like the hole is the same size but more open now.
This morning when i woke up the humidity had dropped down to 45% I bumped it back up to where its suppose...
Let me catch you up.
We have a LG running, with two batches of staggered eggs in it.
Batch "A" go's into lock down tomorrow, and I'm getting the "DIY" bator we made and finished running a course for 24 hours before we add the eggs, so the humidity and temp will be perfect for lock down...
can i put a small cup of chick feed in the bator before lockdown for them to have a snack and to keep the ones that hatched from pecking at the piped ones?
so I noticed someone else here and myself both have double yolkers in the bator right now, which just lead to a conversation between my bf and I that i tried to look up on here and cant find the answer to....
How do you know if they are identical twins, fraternal.... (if they both hatch)
i have 28 eggs in the bator right now, some due the 12th and some due the 19th... all shipped eggs, all i let sit before putting in the bator, all have bubble at the "big" end, BUT all are wonky.... like not perfect or close to perfect circles....
Will this effect them hatching?
if so how?
Is...
How hard is it really to snap the rows or columns of egg turning racks out? can i do this with other eggs in the other rows? is it going to shake to whole egg turner? Do i have to turn it off before?
Maybe i should go to the store and fidget with one. hopefully they wont care?
Just got my blrw eggs in the mail. Saw the mail lady coming, ran outside to the mailbox.... Get to it right as I see her pick up my box and give it sevral good and fast 360 spins to find the label to laser it with the handheld.
My heart dropped. She practicly throws it at me and smiles.
I...
Is it possible to stagger hatches with one bator!?

What have i gotten myself into! AHHHH
Is this possible!? how would/have you do/ne it!?
