    What is a Kikiriki?

    I found an article discussing the origin or the “kikiriki breed”: “This chicken breed is a native of Kelantan, the Malaysian State. The breed is believed to have resulted from cross-breeding between the Japanese bantams with the Malay breed. The modern breed of Kikiriki chicken is due to Wee...

    Chicken has a big bald patch, help!

    I just rehomed three roosters from our spring baby hatch. Now it’s just my barred rock rooster and my Silkie rooster, and they are in different flocks. This way, there’s no competition for the Roos and the hens get a break. Try rehoming or selling your extra Roos. You’ll be amazed at the...

    Chicken has a big bald patch, help!

    Also, be sure to keep those spurs trimmed down. As a newbie, I made the mistake of not catching that in time and my big barred rock rooster injured one of my hens under her wing with one of his spurs. She was a Black Marans and I didn’t see blood until it was too late. By the time she started...

    Oxygen egg?

    If there’s a chance they are bobwhite, you still have some days to wait.... if not, I’m afraid you may not have any viable babies. :hit

    Oxygen egg?

    If they are coturnix, they should’ve hatched by now most likely. It doesn’t sound like anything you did wrong. Did you buy these eggs from someone else?

    Oxygen egg?

    Ok, just realized you said quail. I was quoting chicken incubation time. I’m sorry! I found the following about quail eggs..... The incubation period for bobwhite quail eggs is 23-24 days. Here is a link to information on incubating bobwhite quail eggs...

    Oxygen egg?

    Other factors? And it’s ok. Just take a deep breath. You still have the others in the incubator?

    Oxygen egg?

    If you put them in on 9/25, they should hatch from 10/15 to 10/19. In that vicinity.

    Oxygen egg?

    No no no. Don’t hate yourself. Believe me, I’ve made many mistakes. It’s part of the learning and definitely doesn’t make you a bad person! Give the eggs 21-25 days to hatch. They should do so on their own. I usually hatch them under a broody hen, and I’ve had eggs hatch on time (21 days) about...

    Stinking egg? AHHHH

    If the eggs are broken and stinking and there is no sign of life from them, you should go ahead and remove and discard them.

    Oxygen egg?

    They don’t need oxygen until the hatching process. Just like human babies in the amniotic sac. Once they begin breaking through the eggshell, the membrane begins to dry out, they (should) will be introduced to air in this phase. There definitely are “veins” in the membrane but as long as the...
