    Looking to raise meat birds

    Help: assisted hatch questions

    Hi all. I have an egg that pipped on wrong end. It looked dry so I went ahead and tried to assist. I removed some shell and peeled back some of the membrane then noticed blood so I stopped. I moistened the membrane and returned to the incubator. Any ideas? Thoughts? What should I do?

    Help!! Pip on bottom of egg

    #8 pipped really low. Is this something that I should be concerned about?? I'm not opposed to intervening if it means saving a life but rather not if she'll work herself out. Advice?

    Dorking?

    So, this was a mystery egg from MPC I hatched in October. She was marked Fun & Funky. With 5 toes, that helped reduce the possibilities. I'm thinking female dorking. Thoughts? One with black head, brown/grey body.

    Does size matter?

    New baby: what's wrong?

    My Brahma bantam hatched a couple hours ago. I noticed the outer toe on the right foot is not right. Seems limp. Looks like it affects her ability to walk/stand.
