My daughter is rasing 10 bantams for her 4h project. We have successfully identifid two of the 10 as silkies. You know the easy ones with 5 toes. But need a little extra help with the rest.
Any help on what breed could be laying this jumbo egg. We are getting them consistently daily and they are not double yolks. We have black Cooper Marana, red stars, Easter eggers (obisviouly not this one), black sex links, and a few unknown barn chickens (mixed breeds)
I have a baby chick who hatched but cannot stand upright. I will flip it over and it will pull its neck and fall right back on its back. I read that some chicks will do this and to wrap them and place them in a bowl over night. I did this and the poor guy still cannot stand right and flipping to...
Today is the day. We went to school this morning and had one egg pipping. It bhas hatched already. Not seeing any other pips. How spread out can the eggs pip from each other?
This is my first time hatching. We have chickens at home but have never hatched. I decided to do some in my classroom. We set the eggs on a Monday, March 13 but it was at the end of the day, 2:30 pm. Should we expect pipping at the end of the day into Tuesday, April 4th?
