Hi there, so I've got a few eggs, all I have been candling the last two days because they haven't been moving around anymore and 2 look to be dead after a ton of movement for 3 days. 1 remening is still alive and is peeping but only if I nudge the egg or candle. It was moving a bunch a couple...
I've got 4 turkey eggs in the bator to test things out but I have seen a couple varying opinions and not finding anything in my turkey book. What's the proper humidity for turkey eggs? I know for chicken eggs you want between 50-65% until pipping is that not recommended for turkey eggs? I've got...
I have two 9 month old hens with my 9 month old Tom. He's been strutting quite a bit (I don't know if he's done the deed or not) and I just yesterday saw one of my hens on 2 eggs. The other hen today has been over there and looked to be helping in nest building. Now I have a house and covered...

I added a Roo to my girls close to a month ago and have grabbed a few eggs and stuck them in the incubator. None of my hens have seemed broody at all, in fact one doesn't lay at all (I think she was older than I was told she was because she's also a huge bird). I candled the eggs I'm testing as...
Currently I've got 5 hens as follows: Barred Rock, Marans/Barred Rock, Australorpe, Silver Laced Wyandotte and a Golden Laced Wyandotte. I've got a friend who's offered me a rooster, she thinks he's half Ameraucana (sp?) and half Plymouth Rock. My question is would he pass on the green egg gene...
I am newer, had an account but forgot the details and made a new one but can someone explain this to me? I've looked at all the avatar FAQs and they all say there should be a "replace your avatar" button below my pic, but nothing is there but my online/offline status. Also I cannot upload any...
