LASH EGG

https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/637090/my-first-lash-egg-experience


never heard of it, but I have seen a funky sorta one like some of these images

Yes you can get your birds picture taken at the show. The one I saw was white though and was all professional. I think i would need a white one for the black birds and a black one for the buff birds. Make their color pop out more.

Sorry you are buried under the snow. I am really glad it is not snowing here!

yup use white!

http://www.worldpoultry.net/Broiler...ative-to-help-reduce-poultry-losses-1461267W/ Pretty exact as to what Oz has suggested to us many times over
So what is next choice for feed anticoccidal additive when I stop amprolium in rotation? I cannot find the safest drugs, just listings

Understanding Splayed Legs and incubation distress that easily leads to splayed legs

This condition has been associated with high humidity during incubation, but the results of our research indicate that higher temperature conditions during the last phase of embryo development may have a bigger impact. Splayed legs are also observed when newly hatched chicks are placed on slippery floors.

WHY MEASURE CHICK YIELD?
• Chick yield (the weight of the chick at hatch as a percentage of egg setting
weight) is a simple method of checking whether hatch timing and incubation parameters are correct.
