Hey all! I have crossed my light brahma rooster with a barred rock hen, and every chick hatches either black or barred. The first batch are 5 weeks old, and it seems the barred is the cockerel and black is a pullet. Opinions??
Oh no I wasn't planning on helping him her unless there is no other option! Just not used to it taking so long. Chicks are out within 12 hours of the pip most of the time, this is just a lesson in patience for me haha. Just wanted to make sure everything is normal.
Hey all, hatching my first ducks, and egg pipped yesterday morning, and not much progress has happened. Using nurture right 360, I'm on day 27, temp has been dropped to 98.5 at lockdown, and humidity is at 78 percent. I'm attaching some pics from first pip to now. Sorry if this has been asked 5...
Just introducing myself! I'm Danielle, and I raise chickens (brahma lights, brahma barred rock crosses, OEGB, silkie bantams, and cochin bantams), heritage turkeys, mallards and guineas! Nice to meet everyone!
