The chick could have pipped a vein if there is a lot of blood in the egg. Otherwise it could have been malpositioned and not in a position to be able to pip.

It's contagious! Lol! It's also addicting! I have been hatching since March. I am selling most of the baby chicks I don't want (not too hard to find homes for the pullets and can get lucky and rehome some cockerels)....the others (all cockerels) are going to freezer camp.

I remember having fights with my mom too. With my daughter though, it is beyond "normal" behavior for a teen. We are making progress though. I am glad to hear that your eggs are doing well! I can't wait to get more fluffy butts!

I am not sure why the "bad" side of the deathlayers is so hard to find. My guess would be because it is so rare and people don't want to hinder getting it established. My chickens get all flock crumbles, scratch grains, and have a huge day run where they can forage. So they should be getting...

The deathlayer eggs that I hatched were not directly from Greenfire. They were from someone on ebay. I observed my pullet for almost 3 weeks and her legs were very very slowly going paralyzed, but no signs of paralyzation anywhere else or any of the other signs of Marek's present. From the...

I forgot to post that I set 8 Ayam Cemani eggs on Tuesday the 27th. :)

No, not crazy to repair a cracked egg. I have repaired and incubated eggs repaired with candle wax and nail polish. :) Have one in the bator right now that has a glittery blue patch. LOL!Do just keep an eye on the patched ones. I hatched deathlayers this summer.....and then found out that there...

Set 9 Olandsk Dwarf and 5 Porcelain Booted Bantam eggs yesterday. None of the Black Tail Japanese Bantams were viable yesterday at day 7. Too scrambled in shipping. So I pulled those.

:oops: ....Ordered Ayam Cemani eggs and getting cuckoo silkie eggs as extras. I also got a message from the seller that I bought Pita Pinta eggs from back in August that USPS lost. I placed a second order and right after I did, her chickens started molting. It sounds like they are just starting...

I have 6 Black Tail Japanese Bantam eggs set to hatch 11/6. But they were pretty shook up in shipping...all detached air cells. So I am not too hopeful they will produce anything. And I just set 12 Porcelain d'Uccle and 12 Lavender Americauna eggs today (hatch day of 11/11). The d'Uccle eggs had...
