Please help me. I hatched too many breeds at once and thought I did this great job of identifying all of them but I am missing a silver penciled rocks and welsummer. These are the only ones that could possibly be them. Oh and they're 6ish weeks old and of course I've never had these two breeds...
I need good advice not just maybe this will work.
This is the current situation...
2 acres
4ft horse fencing backed with 2in x 4in metal fencing
Three 8 foot horse gates
In side that there is 3ft electric fence comprised of 165ft chicken netting the rest is strung electric fence pieces
There...
Just tried E-z elastic bands for for last hatch. Over thirty birds. I got the 4.5 mm which is suppose to expand to a size 7 leg band so I didn't think to keep a close eye on them. The chicks had been living in a brooder outside which I can only look down at them through. I went to move them...
I have been reading all these posts about brooding outside and have some questions for those who have had success.
Main question is this. I haven't bought chicks in forever as I prefer to hatch from my own flock. I find that the first two or three days are critical as I always have at least one...
I have been using a forced air Styro Bator for three years now. Every year I have had multiple hatching with 80 - 90% hatch rate with very few problems. This year I decided to start hatching earlier so that the girl would lay by the summer. But.... Every hatch this year have gonna haywire during...

So I got an rcom mini and did two trial runs. The first run I only used it for lock down the second a start to finish hatch. Both times I could not get humidity to go above 60%. But the big concern was that half the eggs pipped the wrong ends with the incubation I did from start to finish. I...
So I have eggs incubating in a havobator. I have multiple due dates. So I bought a rcom pro 10 thinking I would use it to hatch in. I need to know how many eggs you all think I can hatch in it? I can fit 13 but they don't have any room to move around at all. Do they Ned more room to be able to...
The first is whether this pulley is blue laced or black? When I use the chicken calculator there are no result of black with lacing but she's so dark I can't tell could she be that dark but blue? Blue laces red Roo over black austrolope hen
The second is a blue laces red but I got her from...
So I got some legbars and isbars from this really sweet Russian lady who loves her chickens. She said they are all from green fire farms. While I was picking them up she offered me a British Araucana. She said it's a different breed that we don't have in the states and lays a blue egg.
To me...
O my first ever eggs are hatching. Yayyy
But my question. Tgey are my eggs from a orp roo and ee hen. I thought they would all come out with some color veriations but they are all yellow like daddy. Why is that?
So I have been following this site for over a year now! Love it! I am now needing advice. This will be my first time incubating my own eggs. I purchased a Hova-Bator 1583 with turner from ebay about two weeks ago. I assumed because of the shipping information that it would be here by now....but...
