    Testing for Mycoplasma??

    I have around 25 chickens and half have either mycoplasma or coryza. Too many of these birds are special to me to cull the whole flock.

    Why are my eggs hatching so far apart?

    So I have a bantam sitting on a clutch of about 20 eggs from all the chickens in the coop. Some of the eggs started hatching two weeks ago and I’m still having some hatch. I understand that the eggs were laid weeks apart but if the incubation started at the same time, what gives with the time...
