So tonight I got a breeding pair of parakeets. I was told the blue one was male and green female. They have three eggs in a coconut nest currently. The green parakeet is sitting on the eggs and the blue one is caring for her but also sits on the nest with her. I am just concerned about his cere...

Looking for reasons for embryo death on day 8? Day 7 it looked fine. I will say this one has been slower to develop and harder to see than the others. GRAPHIC IMAGES....
I'm wondering if hatch rates are better with eggs that are incubated in an egg carton at an angle (then layed flat for lockdown) or if laying them flat the enrire time is okay? Also I considered laying them flat but slightly elevating the entire incubator on one end. What do you guys suggest?
I have two Buff Orpingtons that have grayish patches at the very top of their beaks. I'm just wondering if this is normal? This is the best picture I could get. They are almost 3 months old.
So I got six Buff Orpington pullets this spring and it looks like two of them are actually cockerels. One of them I am about 99% sure and the other about 75% sure. This will leave me with only four hens. I am wondering if I should wait and see how everything plays out or if I should try to find...
