If I have a cream legbar rooster over opal legbar hens, would the chicks still be autosexing?

Eggs are at day 22. First time using our DIY incubator. 30 eggs looked good at day 18. 23 hatched on days 20 and 21. Two eggs hatched today, day 22. So I have 5 that haven't pipped. I really want to check those 5 eggs. What if they have internal pips and are dying in there?! I have auto...

This is then end of day 20. You can't see very well in the pic, but the egg at the too of the picture has a pip at the right end of the egg. So, it's at the top of the airsack. I have never seen this before. Will this chick be able to hatch itself? What happened? I know that I shouldn't...

I have 35 eggs in a homemade incubator. I think I had the humidity too high for the first week. I had it at 40 -50 percent. I turned it down now to 25 - 30 percent. The marks on the egg are the air sack at 7 days and today at 10 days. What do you think? Should I change the humidity?

I saw this in a video and thought it was a great idea. It works very well. You can use a flashlight that you already have but don't have to cup your hand over it to see in the egg. Cut the bottom out of a medicine cup and tape it to your flashlight with black electrical tape. I had a...

I'm not sure how I should provide enough ventilation and would love some advice. The lid is just wood resting on wood and there is a 1x1 hole for the cords to come in, but it is holding the temperature extremely well so I am assuming it needs more ventilation. Should I drill some holes? if so...

We got a leghorn chick from a farm store that started crowing very young. I never checked the calendar on him but I figured he was around 2 months old. We had a broody hen hatch chicks from him so we were wondering if the one rooster we had from the hatching would start crowing early. Sure...

I have a rooster that is having some labored breathing, wanting to perch most of the day under the heat lamp and I'm seeing some red muckus stringy type stuff in his droppings sometimes. I have him with one hen in a seperate coop with a heat lamp. I've given him Duramycin 10 and diatamacious...

I purchased eggs from a breeder off e-bay that had good reviews. A neighbor took some of the eggs to hatch and only had one hatch. I only had too. Her chick was weak and she asked me to take it and keep it with my other two. It seemed to get stronger but it had a dark bulge on it's underside...
