    Is it true different breeds hatch differently?

    I am very excited, 32 eggs and it is day 20, we have 7 pips. I have Wheaten ameraucanas and giant cochins set - but, only the cochins have pipped. Is this normal for different breeds to react or hatch at different times? Thanks for your thoughts... Foster

    What is wrong with this chick?

    Hi, I am a newbie hatcher... This chick is different from my other giant cochins...He came into the world with very little down, and still has very short, almost nonexistent feathering on his back and head. Is this a genetic defect, or a hatching problem? Thanks!!! PS - he/ she is 3 weeks old!!!
