I love my Meyer Hatchery chicks but think they slipped me an extra cockerel...what say you???(they are about 6 weeks old)......sorry it’s just head shots.

On day 12 of incubation the power went out in my home. I had no other option for my eggs but to pray they restored it quickly. It didn't come on until 6 am this morning (29 hours later) The temp of the room they are in was down to 40 degrees..... I waited until just now (7:30pm) to check my eggs...

This picture was of a candling on day 8. See the big dip down from the air cell? The fluid inside also seems very watery and sloshy.

My birds free range all day but are locked up in a safe coop all night and I don't let them out until 7:30-8am. I go out after work to give treats and spend time with them and see that...

My first chick just hatched and the incubator humidity shot up to 99%. I have the vent hole open. Should I do anything else? This is my first time doing this and I'm freaking out!

My 7 chicks are getting so big (my first hatch ever), The 2 cockerals seem to get along very well and always sleep next to each other on the roost. They are 17 weeks old today and even though they leave their sister pullets alone for the moment, they do grab and mount my hens (much to the fury...

My broody WLH hatched 7 chicks 8 weeks ago. No crowing yet but I'm feel pretty sure that I got 2 Cockerals and 5 pullets (could have been MUCH worse)...any one agree with me? I couldn't get them all for separate pics but 2 look like this: and 5 look similar to this: Here's some of them mix...
