    Last Egg

    This is my last egg to hatch. The chick seems to be very alert, and has made "some" progress from 7 hours ago. Im not 100% sure whats going on with the red on one side, and the white and the other in the membrane. Any ideas? Not sure when it pipped.

    Bump On Head?

    These eggs for from a family friends farm. They said these would be 100% silkie but I dont trust that 100%. Either way. Is this chick deformed, or is it mixed with something ive never seen? Larger bump on head its soft.

    Red Lined Crack in pipping chick

    On the second to last day of incubation. Half seemed to have pip at the wrong end for some reason... Not too big of a worry though I dont know why. Until I saw this one. Its hard to see in photo but the crack is lined with red, like it hit a vessel. Should I not expect a good outcome for it?

    To Give Or Not To Give

    So Here is my dilemma. I have 5 Silkies, but the oldest rooster is no longer doing his "Job" with the girls. I have a younger rooster but only about 5 months old or so. This meaning the girls eggs are not fertilized. I have a hen, laying on a single egg, and she just started. Now, I have 14 eggs...

    Has this Chick Passed? Urgent

    I was seeing movement earlier today about 12 hours ago, but i dont see anything now, not even the beak opening up. The other chicks will peck every once and a while at it and nothing. Has this chick passed?

    Quick Humidity Question

    PIPPED, but white membrane?

    So this duck has popped the shell, but I see only white membrane? This means it has hardened on the chick right? Do I need to be worried? This duck along with another have pipped on the wrong end, it's only been a couple hours, but the whitened membrane worried me.

    Should I be worried?

    So this is a duck, but regardless. His little foot, and beak are out of the shell, but he doesnt have enough shell gone to get out? Is he stuck? Is there something I need to do? Or does this happen often? I never experienced this with chickens, but it could be because I have never noticed...
