I got all of my chicks from the same place, for this breed she has two sisters and they don't have this. I guess it's possible to not of come from the same hatchery place. Just wondering if it is a growth of need to drain and keep clean and sanitary. It doesn't seem hard, more softer.
I've noticed the rooster trying to initiate his service tithe hens, only the BO and not thesussex (they all treat her like the ugly duckling, even tho the rooster is a SS too) the hens don't seem towant his service tho as they run off, are they just not mature enough yet? I only have one laying...
Sorry for the ignorance, we have 3buff orphingtons, 2SS (one rooster), and 3 guineas (2male 1female) all supposed to be females. ;) ;) So we got our first 2 eggs the past two days. Exciting!! Well how do you know if the rooster has fertilized them or not? Will the hen stay on the egg(s) if it's...
