    How long do they keep?

    Breeding for a certain trait.

    Got a quick question. If I am looking to breed a certain trait into my line of birds, should the hen or rooster carry the specific trait I'm trying to breed in? Which parent would have the best chance of carrying over the desired trait?

    need a little hatching advice

    Had 6 silkie easter egger cross eggs in the incubator and 5 have now hatched. The last egg is moving every once in a while but the chick still has not pipped through the shell. By my count tomorrow was hatch day but they all hatched today but one. How long before I should worry about the last egg?

    Gabbard eggs

    Ordered a dozen pumpkin hulsey eggs from Gabbard farms. Took a while for them to fill the order, about 20+ days. Got the eggs, shipped 13 and they all made the trip.

    brood hen

    My brood hen hatched out a couple pumpkin hulsey chicks and tossed them out of the nest box. I put them back in the nest and she grabbed them by the wing and tossed them out again. Never seen this before. Anyone know why this happened? Still sitting on eggs but I think they are no good.
