hatch

    On my chicks first ever night the heat lamp died:(

    I was silly and decided to test out if my chickens eggs were fertile. We have a rooster but they’re all still young and the hens just started laying so I wasn’t sure they would be. I put 5 eggs into the incubator, 2 at the same time, 3 spread out over 5 days. Of course they all developed and...

    Staggered Hatch

    I have a turkey hen sitting on a clutch of eggs rn. I thought both of my hens were broody but it turns out one of them had still been laying and my other hen would just put the new eggs under her. I didn’t know until a few days ago when I candled them and noticed the differences in development...

    If California grey can produce sex-linked, why not go further & make autosexing breed?

    Not sure why the additional work was not done, they'd gone this far... to just make an auto sexing breed like the cream legals, etc. Someone posted this about a decade ago, " California gray is a breed that is based on the Barred Plymouth Rock X Leghorn It is then crossed back on Leghorn to...

    Is this guy a gonner?

    Day 25 Is it dead or should I keep waiting?

    I know someone whose been trying to hatch chicks with no luck. I visited him on day 23 and asked if I could have the one egg he hadn't tossed yet. I set up a temporary incubator in the bathroom as it's the only place I can get enough heat and humidity at the moment. There is no movement from the...

    Quail

    Quail. We actually wanted quail first. But as things evolve and happen, quail hadn't. We got fertile hatching quail eggs as a gift. Shipped in the mail. We were so over joked and excited. When I pulled the tiny carton from the box the little eggs were so cold. Of course it's winter. My heart...
