    Polish mixed hatch question?

    We have did a incubator full barnyard mix chicks. We know we had several polish eggs in there. For you polish hatchers, about how long until you can see the crest feathers?

    First time hatching. How many can I expect? Is there a market for my mixed breed extras?

    So I've been chicken sitting for my neighbor and let me tell you, the eggs are certainly fertile. Those poor hens are going bald from the rooster. Anyways, I was wanting to increase my flock and felt it would be wise to get an incubator and hatch some of these fertile eggs. Well, I went ahead...

    My first time incubating. We are on day 22. Eight of 12 eggs candled and looked good at lockdown (day 18). One egg has cracked but the widest part of the crack is where I cant see it, underneath. Maybe there is a pip? The membrane is still intact. Noticed this 3 hours ago. Other eggs are...
