I just hatched out some Bresse eggs but chicks have normal yellow/orange legs and feet. Do they grow into the blue, or did I get my eggs mixed up!

We are trying our hand at meat birds this year for the first time. Trying to figure out the logistics of this. I knew going into it that we would probably need a new freezer to handle 25 meat birds, but how do people deal with the refrigerator space needed, extra refrigerator too? Or do you...

Quote: Can you explain "rest". Are you saying you keep in the refrigerator for 3-5 days before freezing or eating?

last candling wasn't so promising. I removed another 12. Put 22 into lockdown from the original 42. I now have 5 Cooper Marans, 4 Cream Legbars, 5 Bresse and 8 Eggers. I need a new incubator, I need to know what I'm doing, I hate lockdown!! I just finished watching a video on water...

Progress report, day 13. I've candled twice and evicted 8 from the original 42. From the shipped eggs: out of 12 Cooper Marans, I've pulled 2. I'm worried about 2, maybe 3 others, but its so hard to see, I'll keep them for now. Of the 9 cream legbar, I've removed 4; 3 clear, 1 blood ring...

My first shipped eggs went into the mail to me today. I have three batches coming from three different sources. If all arrive on the same day, I plan on letting them sit a day then popping them in the incubator, but what if they are a day or two, or god forbid three days apart, do each get...

I'm sure there are better places to post this question, but I've been reading this thread for weeks and feel like I know you guys and respect your knowledge. I'm hoping to get some BCM, Welsummer and Cream Leghorn eggs to hatch; locally if I can find them, shipped otherwise - if I can find...
