Yes, I have said no. I was actually delivering birds. They were going to free range them and did not have an adequate pen to home them to. I technically did not have to say no as I explained to them what they needed and they understood. Normally, if they come to the farm, I sell them what...

2013 chick. Dont take too many photos so I thought I would share.

If the plug is in the line where you would expect the zip, I would remove it otherwise I would leave it. Just kind of keep an eye on it. I would not hesitate to pick an air hole if piping seems delayed. We used to be really afraid of helping but now that we are more aware of the sequence, we...

Assume they will hatch on day 27 and lock down early on day 25. Alternatively you can candle eggs looking for the first collapsed air space indicating beginning of yolk absorption and final positioning and lock down at that point.

The eight eggs is one clutch. She is done until she decides to lay another clutch. Give her 7-14 days and see what happens. The other girl will lay when she is ready. If they are well fed and don't have parasite overload,she will lay.

I will be shocked if we don't have the first eggs by this weekend. The Midnight peacock and the Bronze peacock were mating the females last weekend all day. If the girls are willing eggs are not far behind.

I am sure we will be one of the first ones with eggs, but we are still two months away from the first ones. The boys are already ready, willing and able but the girls are not interested yet. Our hatch rate is pretty good but our fertility sucked last year due to the weather we believe. I am...
