    Ok so here is a 4 day old chick, he/she hatched from an assorted egg I ordered from Meyer Hatchery. I know the egg the chick came from was "normal" sized (not bantam) and light brown. Thoughts on breed? Thanks! :)

    Day old chicks mobbing darker chick :(

    I incubated 32 eggs of mixed breeds and ended up with a staggered hatch of 19 chicks (they were mostly shipped eggs).

    Egg colors/size, Black Jersey Giant vs Light Brahma?

    Hello all, I have Light Brahmas (two hens and one rooster) and would love to add a Black Jersey Giant hen for fun. Would I be able to tell their eggs apart? I would like to be able to collect and incubate the eggs from the Brahmas for purebred Brahmas, which I can only do if I can tell them...
