    How to open a pipped egg

    Hi Yes they could well be pollish or silkie, the eggs were small and a creamy colour. The only problem is only one out of the two has the bump on its head. Would this mean its a boy and a girl.

    Bump on my chicks head

    Hi yes you could be right. They were very small eggs and a creamy colour. Only problem is only one out of the two has it, could that mean they are a boy and a girl. It is very strong and it picks one the other a bit, it is also very noisy. I would add a picture but not sure how too.

The humidity should be 50% for the first 18 days and 70% for the last three days. Eggs should be turned 5 times a day, I did mine three times and they were ok. It has to be an...

    Adding eggs to incubator

    Hi I have heard that if you have staggered hatches the older ones may pick on the younger ones but if you are preparred to keep them sepperate for a while if this happens you should be ok.
