    Had to post this picture of Braxton's second hatch. He had 8 fertile white eggs. 7 made it to lockdown and he has 5 out with the other two pipped. I thought this picture was hilarious. I do have a question about them. Most of the come out very smutty, but feather out white. We got another...

    Thanks everybody. He really had a great time. He doesn't really meet a stranger so he made a lot of friends. He's only 6 so the conversations about how eggs get fertile have been very amusing!!

    My son's very first show is today. He's so excited that he's awake before sun up! He told me last night that he didn't care if he doesn't win but he just wants to see all the chickens!

    I have a little chick that looks like it becoming cross beaked. Should I keep it for breeding or give it to a family as a pet? I wasn't sure if its hereditary or an incubation problem. Thanks for any input.
