I have a few Bourbon Red eggs due to hatch in the next week. Is there a way to sex them without vent sexing.

I am new to chickens and even newer to hatching eggs. I built my own incubator from a large marine cooler. I built an egg turner that will hold around 75 LF eggs and even more smaller eggs. The temp in the incubator varies about 4 degrees. From 99 to 103 and the humidity i keep between 35 and 45...

I have a year old rooster that recently lost his mate. He never was one to go exploring but stuck beside his mate all the time. She passed when we had a sudden cold snap about a week ago.

This egg came out of my silver seabrite coop today. All the hens have been laying normal, then I find this today. Not sure what hen laid it. In the picture there is a dime next to the egg. Is it normal for them to have an odd egg every once in awhile? Do you think the egg would be hatchable?

I have a barred rock, approx 3 weeks old. He is in a little pen with 5 other chics the same age. About 3 or 4 days ago it started acting funny. Its like he has lost control of his body. His legs are spread straight apart and its like his head has spasms. His head shakes back and forth real fast...

We recently got our first eggs and was wandering what the eggs should look like at different stages. They have been in the incubator for about 4 days.

These are the very first chicken we purchased when we first started chickens this past spring. We bought them from a farm supply store. They were marked pan fry special. Begining to think pan fry special ment roosters. We bought 5 and all 5 were roos.
