Yes, it's belly button, where the yolk absorbed into, many people think it's the butt and pick at it and pull out intestines
I would get rid of the EE even though he's prettier[/quote

That was my guess. I wanted to make sure though. The leftovers are still attached. It looks like a small ring with the leftovers coming out of the middle.

I would rather save them all! My kids are on them like hawks! You know, that doesn't too good...I mean it's spring break and their eyes are glued to these eggs. Their mama chickens' first hatch.

Saving all of a hatch is not very realistic. Use the event to explain life and death in nature and whatever your religious beliefs are.

I seriously believe that the less you mess with eggs the better they do. The temptation to help is HUGE but I am pretty sure helping kills more chicks than it saves. I have learnt the hard way too.

Set 49 eggs 3 weeks ago. Added water to the Bator 4 times only. Pulled 7 blanks a week ago and this morning have 35+ chicks and the rest look pipped.
Pure neglect seems to work perfectly.

what's that?

Pepper is one of Sally's project birds. She lays huge green eggs regularly at six. The chicks are big, and in the project, she was working on autosexing. She is now under a BCM so they will be olive eggers and big.

Thank you so very much Sally!

Sally needs to tell us what she is getting. Alex said she has made her decision at MPC. I am so excited for her (and a bit green with envy though I don't envy the surgery and all that goes with that at all )
