Hi, I have these Wyandottes that I hatched approximately 4-5 months ago. I’m second guessing myself and would appreciate some assistance please.
I think this is a cockerel, yes?
Yet another pullet or cockerel thread!
These are 5 and a half weeks old, I thought I’d be able to tell clearly by now but I’m a bit stuck!
I’m pretty sure the lavender is a pullet (pic 1), the blue a pullet (pic 2) but the black (pic 3) and black (pic 4) are not obvious to me. In comparison to...
Hi BYC!
I purchased a dozen Sussex eggs from a local breeder the other day. They were packaged up when I collected them, so I didn’t inspect them until I got home. Half of the eggs are extremely elongated like torpedo shapes. These weren’t cheap eggs, and the seller apparently has a good...
Hi guys, I’m having some issues and was hoping someone more experienced could lend some advice.

Hi everyone!
I am a complete newbie with incubating and am on day 9. Stressing like crazy!
I set 50 eggs. These came from my own flock. I collected them over a period of about 5 days and daily turned the eggs that were waiting. Some of the eggs weren’t fertile and some started developing but...
