Here's my 9 week old Silkie. Hen or roo?

I candled them the day of the temp spike after I cooled them. I couldn't really see much so I thought I'd wait a few more days and try again. My incubator temp has been all over the place since then. Just when I think I've got it regulated I find it too high or too low again. It gives me hope...

How did hatching go with your Seramas? I'm getting a little nervous... My Serama eggs have been in almost a week now. Earlier in the week I came home from work to find temp to 105.8. Incubator had been working nice and steady temp for a week prior so I was miffed. I later found out that my...

It's said that there are some rare situations in which a hen will have a "sex reversal" somehow it stops using the left ovary and starts producing androgen through the right ovateste giving it male characteristics. Some say it could also inseminate a hen. I thought it happened with my Elsie...

Ok. Thank you and good luck with those frizzles.

I'm expecting 6 Serama eggs in the mail any day now. As I'm reading the posts regarding babies that haven't even pipped into the air sack, I wonder if humidity had been to high and the air sack didn't grow enough. Your thoughts about this?
