I really like the brown 1 in the picture & the blonde hiding under the black 1.

The brown is a peachick, the blonde looking could be the other peachick or one of the Cochins as they are lightin color too.

I do believe you are wrong.Sure looks like a roo to me.But in the long run he will prove hat he is.

How old is he? Sorry.. yeah.. I can't see pics too well on my iphone.. so small

He is just over 5 months old, he and ButterCake are the same age. But we know now he IS a roo! Just checked an egg and it was fertilized!! BTW, how many eggs should I get from each hen? Cluckers--the oldest one has only been laying 1 per day. She is pretty regular about the time she lays, Butter Cake is still different times. This morning I went to gather the usualy 2 eggs, but there were three. When I just went out to put them back in the coop for the night, I thought maybe one of the 3 I got this morning was from last night, so I checked and there was an egg! So I got 4 eggs today and we only have 2 hens.

Hens should lay one egg a day and take a day off in there somewhere, sometimes (rare) you will get more than one a day from a hen. When they first start laying the eggs can be smaller, shells can be weaker, and they can not lay everyday. Their systems get in check quickly though once they start.

5 months and not crowing? Interesting. How did you know the egg was fertile? I've only had chickens about 6 months so still learning

These are pictures of fertile eggs

They show visible bulls eyes when fertilized.

I am new here and I am from Largo if you look at my power bill and Seminole if you look at my water bill

My family has 3 hens. They are different ages but all born before Easter.

We have a Rhode Island Red and 2 others. I dont know what they are probably some cross breed. I will get pics up here soon.

HI, I'm from north central florida and we have about 20 chickens. I was hatching my first duck eggs in my incubator and could not find a consensus on the humidity needed thanks

I just hatched rouens and kept it around 45... Then up to 65-70 for lockdown. I also spritzer them with warm water every few days

Not that I'm an expert because that was only my second batch of ducks but that worked for me. Shellie knows better
