    Sex links??

    Thanks Tim. Will the chicks be black with only color on the faces or more chipmunky?

    Sex links??

    I have eggs in the incubator from the following crosses - Barnevelder Roo with Silver Penciled Rock hen and Silver Laced Wyandotte hen. The Barnevelder hens have stopped laying for the winter, so just checking out the young Roo for fertility. Will the chicks from the Wyandotte all have rose...

    Newbie with babies... Is this right?

    Lots of breeds have a red color, pullet just means "girl". They are not necessarily the same breed.

    breed of black chick

    Looks like it could be a Black Australorp.

    Is this Roo a Wyandotte?

    Based on the Rose comb, I think Wyandotte, too.

    Battle Ground, WA - Several Cockerel hatched 1/20/12

    Wish I could, but I can't keep these boys. Hatched on 1/20/12 so I guess they're actually 9 weeks old. I have one each Buff Brahma, Black Australorp, Blue-Laced Red Wyandotte (he's blue) and an Easter Egger. Please PM me if you are interested in one or more. Annie

    what went wrong (graphic picture)

    That's why I mentioned that I don't agree with everything in that link. Every live egg I have ever floated at lockdown has shown definite jerky movement (not to be confused with gently moving because the water moves). Eggs that have made it to the day 15/16 range or beyond, but subsequently...

    Virgin Hatcher on Day 19

    The chicks will pip internally before they pip the outside shell. Once they pip into the air sac and start breathing air you will begin to hear chirping, even before you see any visual signs of pipping. Have fun!!

    Automatic Egg Turner Tray Question

    I'm thinking if there is a turner that will fit it must be the goose, as the eggs are obviously bigger than quail or chicken eggs. Cutler's sells a rack (not a turner) that specifies "turkey, duck or peafowl".

    Opinions, please...

    I would leave it alone. If you have eggs developing it's probably fine. If it is a bit low, it may delay the hatch a day.

    eggs not turned

    Fitzy, I think the signs are very good so far. Mine usually have the clear area (remaining egg white) in the pointy end, too, unlike the candling picture I posted. As they continue to develop you will see the egg continue to fill with dark area and by lockdown will be all dark except the air...

    what went wrong (graphic picture)

    I agree with Nurse_turtle on this one. Chick looks water-logged and maybe too big to turn properly. As mentioned above the head is in the wrong place, should be tucked under the wing and up near the air sac. To check viability on your overdue eggs, you might want to try a float test. Here is...

    I've just reached Lock-down. Anyone else?

    We have 45 eggs in two Hovabator 1588s. Day 21 is tomorrow. 16 Buckeyes, 9 Black Ameraucanas, 19 Silver Penciled Rocks and a Silver Laced Wyandotte. We have two external pips and lots of peeping coming from the bator. I'm keeping an eye on this one - Marker shows where the air sac is...
