    What will I get if I cross an Easter Egger with a NH Red?

    Thanks ridgerunner. That is fascinating. I think I'm going to set those eggs, just to see what happens! It sounds like it's going to be an interesting experiment...

    What will I get if I cross an Easter Egger with a NH Red?

    The rooster is the Red, the hens are the EE. The EE produces blue eggs.

    What will I get if I cross an Easter Egger with a NH Red?

    Any ideas? Is it worth it to set those eggs to hatch?

    Rooster mounting a bit too...enthusiatically

    My poor hens. Most of them are getting totally bald on their back from being mounted by the rooster. One's back is completely torn up . What can I do?

    What do you think went wrong? Warning- graphic chick embryo picture

    Quote: Not sure, but it looks like it would have been a cockerel anyways. You can seriously tell from that picture???

    What do you think went wrong? Warning- graphic chick embryo picture

    Hi Gypsy. I agree that it might have been a humidity problem. See my post on your other thread about my horrific results of opening another egg. Hope your chicks are doing ok.

    What do you think went wrong? Warning- graphic chick embryo picture

    This chick pipped and zipped, but never hatched. Any ideas on what might have gone wrong? Here is what I found when I picked away where the air cell was: This is when the shell was removed- it looks like the yolk sac was never reabsorbed? Maybe?

    Day 21 and not a blinking peep! UPDATE - PICS!!!

    I'm a murderer. So, it's the end of day 24. No further movement. No peeps. So, I opened the bator. I candled the eggs- no movement. First I examined the chick that zipped but never hatched. I'll post a photo elsewhere so as not to hijack this thread. Then I opened one of the eggs that...

    Day 21 and not a blinking peep! UPDATE - PICS!!!

    My one that zipped never progressed beyond the picture I posted. So, it's now been 36 hours, so I'm pretty sure that one's a goner. I think I'll candle the ones that are left when I get home to see if there is any movement, but I think at this point, by the end of Day 24, it's pretty much a...

    Day 21 and not a blinking peep! UPDATE - PICS!!!

    Nothing. Sigh.... If there is no progress by the time I get home from work tonight, I guess I'll pull the plug. Today is day 24. Should I do an egg autopsy to try to figure out what went wrong?

    Day 21 and not a blinking peep! UPDATE - PICS!!!

    Yay for you! Get some sleep now...I'm looking forward to see how things are looking for you in the morning. Ahhhh, I wish I could get back to Scotland sometime soon. Last time I was there was in 2000, for a study abroad program. Alas, the young kids (or wee bairns, to put it in your...

    Day 21 and not a blinking peep! UPDATE - PICS!!!

    They are White Dorkings. I have 7 in there. I did candle before lockdown, and I discarded 2. I think the ones that I left in there are OK- they basically were very dark and I couldn't see much when I candled. Like I said, though, I'm all new at this and I really didn't know what I was...

    Day 22. My incubator is super low-tech, since I made it myself... I'm trying not to get my hopes up!
