ok, so I have hatched 4/5 batches of eggs with 90% hatching. This time around I put in 30 eggs. 5 have hatched a few days ago and that's it. So I cracked a few open and they are all 80% formed but dead. What would cause so many to do this? Is it a rooster issue?

I have some 1 year old chickens. They weren't broody at the time so i incubated some eggs and got some chicks. They are 20 weeks now and i put them in the pen with the others. They were fine for a bit but now the hens are being brutal with the chicks. One is injured pretty bad. They pulled most...
Hello, im wondering if anyone knows why my chicks would die while pipping? They were at day 21 and pipped a out halfway around the egg. Then they just stopped and on day 22 i went to help and they were all dead.
I had 24 eggs in the incubator. 14 hatched no issues, 2 didnt hatch at all and the...
