    Hands on hatching and help

    I recently incubated 6 eggs for the first time and had a 100% hatch rate. I set the eggs at 430p on a Wednesday, expecting them to hatch 3 weeks later... They started hatching early Tuesday morning - technically day 19 still? 4 hatched Tuesday and the other 2 early hours of Wednesday. Did I have...

    my first double yolk

    One of my BA crosses laid a huge egg with double yolk. She has been laying for a week now :D My 10 year old scrambled them up before I could take a picture! I read this is common in young pullets, and is a defect, but we sure thought it was cool!!

    too many roosters for too few hens... what do i do?

    It seems like this is the case so far. The beta roo hangs back and have not seen him try to mate. The alpha has made it known that at least 2 of the hens are his. So far then the girls are great and not showing any signs of feather loss. I would love to add more hens but have no space for...

    too many roosters for too few hens... what do i do?

    Ive got the same problem and am thinking of having a separate bachelor pad for the 2 roos. They are brothers, hand raised since 1 week old and get along great right now, have the alpha/beta thing worked out so far, but im sure it wont last forever (6 moths old and hens have started laying). If I...

    Australorp x welsummer sisters?

    Our first eggs Is it just me or does one look more pink than the others? Do the first three look like they are from the same hen? I'm almost positive that one or both (hopefully) of the BA crosses have laid. And the light green ones were a COMPLETE surprise. You can imagine my excitement...

    first eggs!!!

    thank you! I think they are too pretty to eat (but of course I will haha) ! I posted a pic of the questionable chicken (Iris) and have been told it could be an easter egger? That is definitely not what I was told when I got her at a local swap!

    Australorp x welsummer sisters?

    They are the same age, 6 months old. I got them when they were about 1 week. That's what has gotten me confused, that even though Daisy (the one in question) is much smaller due to hip issue when younger, comb is so much more pronounced! I noticed that she does that squatting down thing when...

    What breed is this pullet?

    So essentially she is a mutt with a light green egg gene? will she always lay this color eggs or can they vary?

    Australorp x welsummer sisters?

    First time chicken owner here so this may be a silly question, but... first picture is Dahlia who I know is a pullet. The second picture is Daisy who is the same age but quite a bit smaller (hip or leg issue). I cant tell any difference in their feathers, but Daisy's comb and wattle is so much...
