    late development egg death

    What causes chicks to die late in development? I had a batch were only 2 hatched so I eggtopsied the rest. Several looked like they were on day 16 or 17 then I had 4 who had broken the inner membrane but didn't manage to pip. Is this a incubation error? I have more in the bator and want to fix...

    leg bands vs wing bands

    I am looking to get bands to help keep track of my birds a little better. What are people's experiences with leg or wing bands?

    Woho first eggs!

    Today all three of my hens laid their first eggs yeah me! Is that usually how it goes? I'm used to chickens where they don't all lay eggs on the same day like this. Also do quail lay eggs daily or not quiet.

    WTB: Modern game Bantam eggs

    Looking for some mgb eggs would love it if they came out of blues, splash, or blacks carrying blue. However I would be interested in other colors just as long as they're from purebred birds.

    :( What happend?

    So I had two clutches due to hatch today and yesterday and nothing happened. So far this year I've been averaging 50-60% hatch rate so this is way unusual. The temp and humidity were stable through out incubation and everything seemed well, they were all candled prior to lock down and had...

    Color Question on OEGB

    So I purchased a trio of OEGB over the weekend and have some questions on their colors. Also I'd like any opinions on their quality. The roo is lacking sickle tail feathers and I don't think the angle of the tail is quite right, but other than that what else does anyone notice about them. I...

    Chick with twisted feet. Adivice?

    I have a 5 day old chick that has twisted feet so he kind of walks on his knees. He's eating and drinking fine and moves around good though this weekend when everyone else goes to the coop I think he's going to stay in the brooder. I'm wondering what are the odds of him surviving like this and...

    Sexing chicks

    I posted this in raising chicks but thought maybe I'd get more answers here. When do most people feel they can sex their chicks? Also does anyone here practice dowsing like some pigeon fanciers do? I'm familiar with several methods and have used it before for determining litter sizes in rabbits...

I have 9 eggs that were due to hatch today as of 11:30 pm I had two pipped to my surprise as I didn't get the impression any where going to hatch (my uncle could always hear them peeping and scratching about 24hrs...
