    What are these black specks?

    So I've been watching my hatch all morning and was able to catch one of my silkies fully zip and hatch herself. Never gets old! But then I noticed the inside of her shell was speckled in these tiny black dots. Is this just old blood or what? The chick from this egg is very healthy and lively...

    What color Silkie is this?

    A friend of mine hatched out some of our silkie eggs yesterday and got this little cutie. Daddy is a blue rooster and Mommy is a white hen. What is your best guess as to what color variety she is? Splash, paint, etc? Thank you!

    Wheaten Marans Roosters

    I have 2 Wheaten Marans Roosters that I hatched out last May and have decided I don't need. Both are very polite young men who care greatly for their girls. Neither have ever attacked me or anyone else who has gone in their coop/run. I just have too many roosters and no pure-bred Wheaten girls...

    Hatch Day May 6th! Anyone wanna hatch with me?

    I just set 35 egglets in my incubator this AM and I'm so excited. They're for a customer but I'm so excited to see what our own girls produce. We've hatched out a few of our own farm's eggs but this is the biggest clutch by far. In the incubator are BBS Marans, Lavender Orpingtons, B/W Silkies...

    Is this egg fertile?

    This is one of our first eggs from a 23 week old BCM who is in a coop with a 23 week old Rooster. Does this egg look fertile? I know the rooster has been trying to do his "thing" but, from what I've observed, the girls haven't been cooperating. Thanks!

    Is she egg bound??? Please help!

    I don't usually have much luck with posting here when I have an emergency but I have to at least try this time. Princess is my 3 year old Easter Egger. Yesterday I went out to the coop to find her waddling like a penguin. I took this as a clear sign of being egg bound. However, after giving...
