Will all the chicks be blue? Could some be splash?
I have a pen with 2 white roos over 6 white hens plus one mauve. I have a 3 week old chick who started off yellow so we assumed white, but now I'm seeing the odd gray feather.
Thanks for your input
Some of my shipped eggs had detached air sacs but most looked ok. I let them rest for a day and a half with the fat end up.
I then set them in my incubator. It has horizontal egg placement, so that the eggs roll. On day 6, I candled and found that quite a few more must have had partially...
Hi all,
I'm looking for good quality bantam barred Plymouth Rocks in Canada, preferably Western Canada. We would need chicks or hatching eggs for 4H projects in Feb/Mar 2020.
Thanks!
I have a Janoel 12 and Janoel 24, both from Amazon (think the small one was marketed under the name Magicfly). Happy with both. I've hatched chickens and ducks with good success. The instructions are hard to understand (really bad English) but there are videos on YouTube to help you along. Both...

Is the 48 hour old ok to stay one more day in there or should we extract him while trying to keep the humidity high? It's a little incubator in our ensuite so I could run the shower hot and steamy, before pulling...
I must have miscounted days or i have a heat issue, but anyhow one of my ducklings is hatching. The egg is pipped, hole is about the size of a nickel and i can hear it chirping . I have disabled the turner but the eggs are all still in it. The eggs rest on their sides in this tray not on-end...
Our gal was a late, assisted hatch. She has been slow to grow and now is in with 2 week old chicks because they are the same size. At times she seems totally normal and happy, then she will be listless and weak.
Today I noticed she has swelling beneath her vent. It feels firm (about the size...
Looking for advice: We have a weak legbar chick. It pipped on day 24 (the rest of the chicks hatched on 21). We ended up helping him zip after 36 hours because there was no change and it's membrane became very dry. It hatched the rest of the way on its own about 24 hours ago. It is fully dried...
