My runner egg has externally pipped but when it moves and I can see inside it looks like it's pipped the membrane a few times

is that normal? I haven't touched the egg I just have them facing so I can see.

Quote: I'm at 98.6*, at 37* I'd be dead.

Well, I always run 97.0F, so that method wouldn't work for me...

We've been getting major storms blowing through since midnight last night.
Now we're getting a lot of hail. So far it is just marble size but a lot of it.

Stay safe and I hope you don't suffer any property damage.

Quote: At Christmas, we'd always give our Jack Russel presents that were wrapped, just like he was a people. It was usually rawhide bones or squeaky toys. Of course he could tell right off if it was a squeaky toy, so he'd worry that package 'til he got to the toy, and wouldn't let up 'til he had stuffing all over the floor.

Congratulations!

For those asking questions about criteria for selecting which birds to keep for breeding and which to cull, there is much more information than what I previously offered in the following page from ALBC.
It's about maintaining heritage fowl in the manner for which they were originally developed.

I like the rule of 10 section. To get one good bird, you have to produce 10. To get one great individual, you have to produce 100. To get one exceptional bird, you have to produce 1,000.

Thank You!

Red sex 1 died to challenging a pony who doesn't like birds. She got kicked to death.
Red sex link #2, died to a prolapse and we didn't find her before she died.
#3 refused to come home before dusk, and either A. drowned in the ditch and was found by a possum, or he killed her and ate her for being in a wooded ditch area at dusk time.
