    CRAZY. Has anyone had this happen?

    My friend lost her flock today a midday coyote raid. She collected all eggs and put them in her kitchen. I believe it was Wednesday. I took them home and set them Friday 3/22. Today one hatched clean in the turner during dry incubation. All I can figure is a hen had been sitting on it, and her...

    Incubating goose eggs

    I have never done this. I was sent a surprise goose egg with a bunch of mixed breed chicken eggs. The lady said just throw it in and leave it 31 days. I am a nervous wreck because, I see every egg as a possible baby. I hatch every year at school with great success. I set Friday( not ideal, but...

    BSL x Splash orp color question

    I have 3 blue/ dilute black chicks that are developing red wing points, one is almost getting red barring. I am guessing that they are my BSL x my splash orp roo. Does this sound like a possible color outcome. The other options are buff orp x splash roo and isa brown X splash jersey giant.

    Can you stack eggs in a still air incubator?

    I was wondering if you can stack eggs in a still air incubator with turner. I am guessing I should just put a few in the gap near the turner and hand turn, but wondered if anyone had stacked with success. Im thinking the top eggs will get to warm. Thanks

    BBS question

    Hi- I understand the blue x blue, splash x blue, black x blue ratios. My question is, do they have to be from a color pure line. In other words, is a black bird from an only black line going to produce the same color percentages as a black bird from a black/blue cross? Maybe I am over...
