I've hatched a lot of eggs but this is a new problem for me. Started with 20 eggs but 8 were clear or early quitters. The 12 that made it to lockdown looked good but they are mostly welsummer and marans eggs so kind of hard to see much. Day 20, 1 hatched. Day 21, 2 more hatched after being...

We ordered some BBS Ameraucana hatching eggs and hatched them with some of our mixed eggs from our own chickens. Most of them we can tell which are which but there are 4 blue chickens and I know that one of them is a mutt but I'm having trouble telling which one it is. I'm pretty sure the first...

We got some chicks from the feed store yesterday and there were a couple dark brownish red chicks in with the black sex links. They had just gotten the chicks in and there were no other chicks that looked like them so I don't think they got put in the wrong bin. We bought one so we could see...
