    Day 25 video - viable?

    Ameraucana egg - all the others hatched at 21. I cracked it early on by accident but covered the crack w second skin and it continued to develop. This is so weird. Do I call it? Posting the video as its own thread (I have another where it’s a comment) so hopefully it gets some views w responses.

    Overmated ?

    What should I look for when you say “wear”? Missing feathers? Guess I’ll go find some more females…appreciate the feedback!

    Overmated ?

    I have a male and female that I hatched and raised together. Whenever they get in the water, the male hops on her. He doesn’t appear to be too rough - isn’t holding her head under water or staying on very long. But how do I know if it’s too much before I find out the hard way and she’s hurt...

    Hen Saddle

    My roo is tearing up some of my girls’ backs and wings. I put saddles with flaps on, but then they can’t get to their gland. What’s the schedule of removing them so they can preen, or are they too big? Should they be able to reach their gland?

    Cracked Egg Day 22.5

    I cracked an egg early on in incubation; it didn’t leak so I used second skin and incubated it with the rest. Everyone else hatched yesterday and the day before. The cracked egg has veins, it looks viable, but at what point do I call it? No internal pip, either.

    Day 15 Help

    They are shipped - that explains it! I let them sit at room temp for a day before incubating - was there a way to see the saddled air cell prior to incubating? This is only my third time and the first two were not shipped. I hope I don’t get mutants that I have to cull. Crossing fingers and...

    Day 15 Help

    Most have normal air cells, but three have huge ones. Do I need to increase humidity? It’s been at 50.

    Viable?

    No, it’s just this ring that moves together all squishy. These were shipped eggs so I’m expecting a greater rate of quitters…just hadn’t seen one look like this before.

    Cracked Egg

    Like silicone caulk? I may try that!! It’s still viable so I want to give it the best chance!

    Viable?

    This one doesn’t look good - I’ve seen a blood ring but not something like this. Day 8 - thoughts?

    Cracked Egg

    I have three day old shipped hatching eggs in the incubator and because I couldn’t keep my grubby little hands off them, I cracked one. No liquid so I put second skin on it, but the crack is pretty significant. Also took it off the turner and in a corner so I can control the turns manually. Not...

    New Fibro Test - Participants Needed

    i used this test on two of my Hmong. One was fm/n and the other fm/fm. Both were fibro I would have never known about the N if I hadn’t tested. So cool!

    Roo new to hens

    Thanks all! My other roo (who was also my first) just kind of grew up a good boy and while he’s also young, never behaved like this. I have a few older hens but they’re all sweet and not fighters. Sounds like he’s going to be a bachelor for a while!

    Roo new to hens

    I have an eight month roo who needs some ladies. But when I put a few in with him, he gets very rough and just jumps on them. No courting, no dancing, just jumps on while they screech and then run away and he chases them. My other roo (different run, a month older) is the opposite. Is there a...

    Frostbite vent

    He’s currently in the garage at 38 degrees with two girls and crowing nonstop. It’s five degrees out. I need to move out of the Midwest - it’s like the arctic this year.

    Frostbite vent

    I put he and two others in the garage tonight - it’s 30 degrees so more manageable than -3. This is from earlier this evening and when I took them in the garage, his wattles seemed to have some too. I have Meloxicam if it seems to bother him - I’m sure it doesn’t feel great. 😢

    Frostbite vent

    It’s that time of year… Our temps got into -2 and my roo’s comb tips are turning black. I don’t use Vaseline, their coop is draft free and has a ventilation fan and their run is wrapped + covered. No water in the coop either. My flock is a big group of three and four year olds and five under a...
