    Black Star Rooster?

    I purchased some fertile eggs from a local farm. This little guy came out of an egg that was supposed to be a Red Star or Black Star (Sex Link). Whenever I look at Black Star Chicks they are all black but as you can see this one is white. Is this a Black Star Rooster or something else? Thanks!

    Eggs still viable?

    We had a chicken go broody a little over two weeks ago. We do not have Roosters so we purchased some fertile eggs from our local poultry supplier. Our Mama Hen had been sitting on the eggs and doing a great job. She sat on them for 2 weeks straight. Then I cleaned out the coop area in...
