    What kind of Standard pullets are we??

    My vote is that 2 and 3 are easter eggers - they do not always have fluffy cheeks from a hatchery, and develop their green legs later. I will be interested in what # 4 is! Cute...

    As an aside, I was in Tractor supply today...they had a huge tub of "assorted black pullets" - and there was this one little chick in there who looked like your third photo...in a sea of black chicks! I was very curious as to what it might be! Interesting thread!

    Terribly worried about "Break time" during hatch???

    Well, it still stinks... I am starting to think that it may not be me, although I know that most of my purchased eggs were fertile.... All of my cochins have now hatched, as in 100% - had two more this afternoon. Just not the purchased eggs. Oh well, I suppose that is life

    Terribly worried about "Break time" during hatch???

    Thanks for your reply... Can sometimes shipped eggs hatch later than home raised? My eggs have hatched (cochins) but the Ameraucanas have not. MB Foster

    Terribly worried about "Break time" during hatch???

    I am worried because I had 11/34 eggs hatch yesterday (day20) and since then, no pips, chirping, nothing. It seems all the chicks that hatched (save one) were one breed (cochins)... Today is only Day 21...can they take a break from hatching? Or are they likely dead? It has been about 16...

    Is it true different breeds hatch differently?

    Illia, Yes, on day 17 I candled and saw movement in most, but good development in all. It is day 20 this evening, so maybe something will happen overnight

    Is it true different breeds hatch differently?

    Loooking for more thoughts on this...Iam becoming really nervous. The Ameraucanas are doing nothing, and the giant cochins are almost done,100% hatch. Is there a breed or shipping difference in time of hatch? Anyone?

    Is it true different breeds hatch differently?

    Thanks, Fredshens, It would make sense, but I have never heard of this before. In cattle, certain breeds calve at different times, and girls are almost always earlier than boys...anyway, I hope you are right and it is a breed thing!!!

    Is it true different breeds hatch differently?

    I am very excited, 32 eggs and it is day 20, we have 7 pips. I have Wheaten ameraucanas and giant cochins set - but, only the cochins have pipped. Is this normal for different breeds to react or hatch at different times? Thanks for your thoughts... Foster

    Egg white problem

    Agree with others...fresh eggs do not peel. Let them sit a week, or try some of the other cooking methods people have mentioned. The eggs are likely excellent, just too fresh!

    She pecked me on the lip- I shoved her-now I feel bad.

    ChuckZoo, Chickens have a pecking order...the dominant chicken will always peck the lower chicken...it is their nature. You mentioned shoving her and making her submissive. This may work for dogs, but not chickens. I would definitely not do this again!!! Chickens, while friendly, are like...

    Today is day 21 for broody hen

    Mama will take good care of those chicks once they arrive! She will keep them warm and nestled under her. A broody light may be helpful, so would a little place to keep her separate from the rooster and other chickens for 2-5 days. Once the chicks get going, she will likely take care of them and...
