Sigh... I'm way back on page 3701 and trying to catch up. Have an urgent question. How do all of you deal with chick that pips away from the air cell?

Day 20 egg



Excuse the large hole, that's where my thumb went thru when I was trying to outline the air cell. Before the large hole, it was just a small one one.

Now that the hole is bigger it's started peeping.

I need your suggestions on this. I am starting to set aside eggs for my next batch to go into the incubator (Its really addicting). Anyways, instead of having no idea on what cross breeds the chicks are, i want to put one of my roosters (A Black Copper Marans) and 2 hens in one of my smaller coops as a breeding pen and collect the hens eggs. What breeds of hens should i put in? Thanks!

Hens (The ones that are laying at the time)
RIR
BCM
Polish
Speckled Sussex
Buff Orpington
Blue Americana
Easter Egger

Cross your Marans roo with your blue egg layers. You will get olive Eggers.

Paddler you are correct, i missed that it was in storage, my bad. Bleach should be enough.
My saved link....
COCCIDIA Survival,
Development of oocysts to infective sporulated oocysts (sporulation) does not occur above 40° C or below 20° C.
Sporulation occurs rapidly (<16 hours) at temperatures between 30° C and 37° C.
Sporulated oocysts are resistant to adverse environmental conditions and can survive as long as one year in moist, protected environments if they are not exposed to freezing or extremely high temperatures.

The others will have unique offspring but nothing special, mutts. Of course there is nothing special about an olive egger except the color of the eggs. In the end, they are all just chickens. LOL
