My royal palm eggs have been in the incubator for 19 days. What should they look like when I candle them?? I candled them tonight (ok I stuck a flashlight to the small end of them in a dark room ) and all I could see was that they looked clear toward the bottom and had a really dark blob at the...

Well my royal palm hen started laying again and i FINALLY found her nest. I took 6 eggs and went ahead and started them in the bator since I don't know how old they are.

My Royal Palm hen hatched 6 poults a week ago today, but by yesterday she was down to 3.... so I put them in the brooder with my chicks. I put her back with my tom this morning and he was strutting his little heart out with all 2 tail feathers (he's molting) Will she start laying eggs again or...

I have a whole flock of hens, but only one roo. I don't hatch my laying chicken's eggs, so I just got a roo to kinda stand gaurd. I have no idea what he is, but he is huge!!! I'm short (5ft1in) but he comes up to about mid thigh on me!! He is very friendly to people, but will attack anything...

I posted some pics of a little cockrel that I didn't know what he was, and in the background I had pics of some OEGB BB Red pullets. Someone mentioned that since their legs where yellow they weren't pure bred. So I went out and looked at them and most of them have white legs but a couple aren't...

I bought what was supposed to be 8 old english bb red chicks. As they started getting older I noticed that one of them def. not a bb red. I'm pretty sure it is a speckled sussex, but is it a hen or roo?? Also it is also only slightly bigger than the bantam chicks....so do you think it is mixed...
