Chicken has hatched now. I am pleased it wasn't an assisted hatch. I am picking the chicken might of been confused or something. I have no other explanation for it..... Always learning something new.

Never seen this before. My chicken egg has 2 pips

Yay I thought your pullet would settle down. I've got a young pullet whose system is glitching at the moment. Every second day she is laying 2 eggs one after the other. The two she layed yesterday had thin shells and had a spot on there side where they looked like they had touched on there way...

I will say this. Please don't beat yourself up over this. These things happen. I'm not sure if I'll be much help as haven't had this happen but I think culling injured chick is for the best. The other you will probably have to wait and see.

They all looked to have been drbeaked. It's a procedure that hatcheries do to stop chicks injurying each other. They will be fine.

Good luck 🤞

Thank you. Waiting game to see if he is aggressive like his father. Hopefully not. He is already alot tamer and I have been able handle him no problem. Would love to keep him😊

Thanks for replying. I will have to wait and see if the little barred rock is aggressive like his father as would love to keep him. So hoping not. The one you have circled is definitely a male.

This is the Barred Rock male I had. A stunning bird, but a bit aggressive.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking he was a male. But was a little unsure as I'm not really sure who his dad is. I had a Barred rock male but because he was quite aggressive I hadn't wanted to breed from him. He got moved on. I thought I had incubated eggs from my leghorn male. But maybe not...

Just wanting an opinion on this little guy. I think he is a he but a little unsure. He is 9 weeks.

Oh so cute! Congrats 😊

How well did the rest of your hatch go?

That's awesome. Congrats

Oh how cute. Congrats on your new chicks😍

Does look like a pullet. Fingers crossed 🤞

You might find they are half leghorn. Your brown stripey one looks like one I have with is leghorn father, barnevelder mother.

Probably just a glitch in your hens system. May not happen again. Sometimes young pullets can do this untill they regulate their laying system. You could try adding oyster shell grit to her diet. A small dish on the side should work so she can help herself as needed.

No the little yellow one turn out to be a female and a great wee layer. Her feather grew out a muddy white colour with black specks. Not a bad looking wee hen😊

How many people flock raise their chicks? How many people have had bad experiences with it? I'm asking as I have done this with my chicks. Hatched under a broody. My flock total of 9 hens including broody and 6 chicks. Chicks are 3 weeks old and every one gets on fine. Chicks know there place...
