Hello, I haven't been on here in forever, but I boiled chicken and duck eggs this morning to make deviled eggs, and when I cut one of the duck eggs in half, I saw a blood spot and what looks like the chalaza? I have never seen the chalaza in a deviled egg before, and it kind of grossed me out...

I am curious, which do you prefer. If you want to reply with what breeds you have or to explain your answer fuller that is fine. :) Edited to say: I have mostly standard chickens, but have four bantams. One mille fleur booted bantam and three OEGB roosters. I am curious to see the bantam...

Any ideas as to the gender of this chick? It is a Blue Birchen Marans. It has a small comb and its feathers look rounded at the ends. Thanks in advance for any opinions.

Here is my BBM chick. Hatched from Gabbard Farms eggs. Six days old today.

Hello, I am looking for cochin hens or chicks in Kansas (near Lawrence). The color does not matter.

I know, I know I should not even think about helping yet. But, I just want some advice. This morning the chick pipped the egg (It's day 23 and he pipped in the middle of the egg) He makes loud peeps every couple minutes. When I look at him through the window, he looks like he is resting he moves...

Hi! Here is my barred rock mixed chicken. I have been getting quite a few double yolkers and was thinking they were coming from this chicken. *she* does not act like a roo (no crowing or anything.) But when I entered her in a contest on here people think she may be a roo. Please tell me your...

Hello, I ordered the best of the blue breeds from Gabbard Farms on ebay. I was wondering has anyone ordered from them? Hatch rates, shipping? Thanks for any information

I set four eggs on September 26 (hatch day October 17) and then I added four eggs on October 3rd (Hatch day October 24th.) The question I have is what to do with the eggs set in October 3rd while the other eggs (set on September 26) are in lockdown? Lockdown starts tomorrow for the first set...

I am attempting my second hatch, this time from my own chickens. The hens are sexlinks and the roosters are OEGB so who knows what the chicks will look like! They are due to hatch October 18th (Today is day 1.) I am hoping for a better hatch rate than hatch one (1 chick hatched out of 22...

I went out today to see all the chickens and I couldnt find my D'Uccle. I went into the coop and she was lying on the coop floor, At first I thought she was dead but when I picked her up she made noises and was looking at me. Her neck is limp and she can lift it a little but not very much. She...

I cracked open a chicken egg today because my roosters are 20 weeks old and have started doing the "rooster dance" to the hens. When I opened it there was a bullseye! I am so excited now I can hatch some chicks from my own eggs.

I am thinking of making a boot for my silkie but I am afraid of the tape sticking to the feathers. What have you done for a boot on a chick with feathered feet.

I have just finished a hatch and only one has hatched. I am looking for some baby chicks around Lawrence, KS.

I moistened the membrane and am letting the chick do the rest. I hope he hatches happy and healthy. When moistening the membrane I could still see veins so I know he wont be ready to hatch for a while. If you would like to share your experiences I would appreciate it, thanks so much.

I have silkie eggs on day 22 and my first egg externally pipped a couple hours ago. I can hear it peeping but it hasnt done much else. I was just wondering on average how long does it take from external pip to zip?

I am on day 20 with 22 (now 21) silkie eggs. I was on my computer (by the incubator) and I could smell something gross. I moved toward the incubator and it got worse. I feared it was a rotten egg. I opened the incubator and WOW the smell was strong. I smelled each each egg and found the culprit...
