I have one I was told is a sapphire splash, but I suspect she is laying jumbo white eggs because it sure isn't my bantys. Does that mean I have a splash andalusian instead?

Looks like my Wyandotte Americana cross. Makes beautiful babies!!

What is a dark radiator?

This is my oldest survivor. Her bum feathers are growing back in some places, poor thing.

Our numbers are holding pretty steady now. I've never seen anything like it. Still have no idea where whatever it was came from unless it was the water. The city tested it and deemed it safe now at least. I had them on bottled water for over a week just Incase there was still something in the...

Sorry I haven't been back on in so long. Getting ready for virtual school to start, etc. So what I've gathered from my research, it was some sort of fungal infection. The two surviving chicks from the original group are still quite small and have no feathers around their eyes or bums. I...

I will when I get home

I had around 15 chicks I hatched, that were 3 or 4 days old. I picked up 4 polish at the feed store and stupidly did not quarantine. They were on medicated food, in my living room, in a plastic tub with a heat lamp. A couple got trompled I thought because they were on their backs being stepped...

I don't know much about ducks, but I would give them another day or two then make a small hole in the airpocket end and have a peek. Easier to candle when shining the light in the little hole too.

Here is some bearded fabulousness from my grow out pen. Carmen Sandiego shows off her fabulous beard and then is photobombed by her sister Candy.

Hatching eggs is hard on the heart and nerves. All you can do is take notes for next time. I've had a few egg I've tossed because they looked so bad when I candled that I didn't have the nerve to check. I do try to eggtopsy most of them and if there is movement when I make a hole into the air...

Question: I had a chick hatch last night that is white feathered and has feathered legs and extra toes. I'm pretty sure the egg belonged to my leghorn silkie cross who is basically splash color but with very dark silkie skin. My rooster was a white silkie with lighter skin. Now here is the...

For future reference, I had an egg like that. Threw it in the trash and when it broke it had a live ready to hatch baby inside which quickly died ☹️ Since then, I either take outside or put in a baggie and carefully open the air sack end of the egg to check for movement through the membrane.

I believe op said they have to different types of thermometers in their incubator for accuracy, one of which is a mercury thermometer.

Any new babies today?

Hatching eggs is tough on the heart strings. I'm sorry for your loss.

Any news on the little one? If she isn't out yet, you might make a tiny hole over the air pocket and check on her.

I wouldn't call that oozing. Looks like pre hatch poop that got pushed out as chick was turning to zip.

Not likely. All chicks I have eggtopsied have been soft and pliable. Not really sure why.
