I'm fairly sure the one in the back is a too because he acts and looks like one. However, the one in he front I'm not sure on. And are these EE's? Strange colors for them...or at least not like my EE that las the bluish colored eggs.
Decided to give this girl 6 fertile eggs to hatch after much debate. She has been broody on and off for quite a while now so I'm happy she got what she was looking for. Hopefully more than one will hatch but if not, she seems perfectly content now. Can't wait to watch her raise her chicks.
[/IMG]I know it's early but I have some chicks from eggs hatched recently and am only wanting to keep one pullet out of 14 chicks. This one is my favorite...any early guesses? I have someone who wants the rest so hopefully I get my pullet picked early. I can keep them as long as it takes to...
Question....we have a RIR that just went broody for the first time. We don't have a rooster but I bought some hatching eggs that are currently in the incubator on day 15. Could I move them under her and let her hatch them?
I hatched some eggs that were supposed to be EE' s and I plan to keep one or two . I really like this chick by I'm no good at telling sex and have been known to take people's word for breed and later find out it's a barnyard mutt....

So I learned another valuable lesson today. The next time I drive 2 hours to buy hatching eggs, I will know more about what not to buy. Dirty, weird shaped, HUGE eggs are not good:) I started with 24 eggs...put 12 in the incubator with two of those being double yolked eggs. I ended up with 5...
We had two cream legbar chicks hatch today and I still can't tell the sex even though they are supposed to be an auto sexing breed:) I keep reading that the males have the yellow spot on their head and are lighter..mine are darker than the pics I have seen but they do have some yellow on their...
So I have 12 eggs In my Little Giant with the fan my husband rigged up from a very all computer fan. I have 6 maran eggs and 6 cream legbars...two of the legbar eggs are twins. I candled them before lockdown and I'm pretty sure one set of twins died but I set it anyways. The other one is rocking...

I'm locking down eggs tonight and two of them are double yolk and still thriving. I've hatched in egg cartons with great success but I was wondering if it would be better to lay the twin eggs on the mesh or should I put them in a carton as well? Never hatched one and am anticipating problems as...
