    Advice needed on chick late hatch

    Thank you for the links. I have some beautiful chicks from the hatch. The ones that I had trouble with were the Araucana eggs. I do have a double tufted rooster and that may have been part of the issue with the egg. I noticed a few babies have white hair tufts on one side of their face.

    Advice needed on chick late hatch

    Can eggs carry bird flu?

    I remember when my horses had gotten sick with a contagious illness my vet recommended spraying the stall with one half cup bleach to one gallon of water and let it dry to kill the virus. I am sure that would help if you had an outbreak.

    We have been using peroxide to clean and disinfect since the beginning of all this. We use it on cutting boards, wipe door knobs, even swish in the mouth for killing bacteria.

    I found a dead chicken this morning

    Infertile Auracana rooster possibly?

    I got pullets and a sweet tufted Auracana rooster on may 5th fully feathered. I guesstimate them to be 6.5 to 7 months old. The rooster is doing his deed with all of the hens but I am not seeing a bullseye on any of the eggs. do you think it is a late maturing breed? I have had such bad luck...
