I have had 4 batches of eggs shipped to me this Spring. All of them have been porous and so far fertility has been very poor. I had 80% success with shipped eggs last year and I have 100% hatch of my own eggs that I incubate with shipped eggs. I have blood rings in most of the eggs a few days...

I have a sizzle hen. I brought her home 2 weeks ago. She was housed alone With a rooster. she has just begun laying here and I would like to set the eggs. I have heard that they can hold the sperm for 3 to 4 weeks...?

My chocolate orp chicks are 2 weeks old and healthy. They and their sister the silkie are in a play pen, bouncing all over eating and drinking just fine. BUT sneezing? I wonder if its the grass hay I have begun to give them to chew on. It is for a rabbit and she seems fine. It may have had a...

I have raised several brooders full of coturnix quail. BUT my understanding is turkey poults are a bit more delicate. I am getting the impression alot of the problems are nutrition related. I already know they need chicken chicks as teachers. I give all hatchlings probiotics and electrolytes for...

When zipping does the whole chick rotate in shell or do they just turn their heads?

It pipped yesterday. Was the same at bed time. I woke up this morning to the shell being busted away in one spot around its face. But not zipped like normal. It looks like it has broken a vessel It is face up and its nostrils are uncovered. It looks like it missed its air sack all together...

Do Coturnix make good house pets? I never would have thought so.Then last week my husband brought Grand home. Last summer a family friend asked for some hatching eggs to hatch out with his granddaughters. At the time I had 3 Coturnix I had just gotten. A Roux male and 2 Tibetan Tux hens. I...

ROOSTER BOOSTER vitamins and electrolytes with lactobacillus. I give the other to the babes half strength and with the exception of a few hatched crippled I have yet to lose a chick.I am just not sure about this kind.

The first egg the light shown thru lit up like a light bulb. The others the light would not. May I assume it is because there is something inside the egg?

Her parents are s'posed to be a Golden Seabright rooster over a flock Of D'uccle hens. She has two sisters. Both Black with golden lace on their knecks. One has a beard and a slight feather leg and shanks the other is typical build and feather of the Seabright. None have the extra toe of a...

She is 23 days old. She also has interesting feathers A ? Should I turn the light off at night. I removed heat at 14 days. Or light on so she eats 24 hours aday.

They layed like crazy in the cold. I had eggs coming out of my ears. I advertise to sell hatching eggs and they stop. The males stop crowing. The males stop mating. The hens stop laying. The calls keep coming. Dumb Birds.

This is actually a video and a BBS orpington The owner says it is molting, but I am wondering if the fever is causing it to drop feather. It has been breathing badly, lost weight wont eat. She is forcing tylan on it. I do not know how long it has been sick. I though infectious bronchitis but was...

I have a L.G. with a fan. I hatch quail. I have been pretty successful in the few hatches I have done. Any non hatched eggs never started to form. Except of course the expensive ones that suffered a looooooong power outage last fall. I fill the gutters and lay paper towels down,( the wire is a...

I know that they can be nasty little creatures. Both the Cocks and hens. Hens can be really nasty. So I thought to try a backwards integration. I have a trio that have been together since hatch and I have since hatched out 8 of their younguns. The little ones are 4 weeks old and in a babies...
