May hatch-a-long

[chickenmama109]

I was wondering if I’m turning my eggs enough I turn them five times a day and some times I turn them a little early then the time I set and maybe some times a little late does this egg look like it’s stuck to the side this is my Bantam egg is is definitely fertile there’s veins and I can see a chick bit do I turn them enough

2 pairs of sisters? Can you tell what sex they are by color?

I don’t think so. My understanding is that any offspring from a sex link will just be a mutt bc it takes specific breeds to make a sex link. I could be wrong though...I usually am

5x’s a day should be sufficient I would think. The more the better of course, but we do what we can. I’m not sure about the appearance. It looks ok to me, I thought mine looked a little off at first, but they turned out fine.

Not stuck but maybe Malpositioned see link below
One of my silkie looks like that too and it is due to hatch on Friday.

I ended up with a BR roo when I got some more BR pullets last month. I can’t wait to hatch some little black fluff balls next year!

My BR roo is the best he is so big and great with the girls and gets along with my BO roo. I think I lucked out there. When I let them out to free range if one of the girls is laying he waits for them to finish and the BO takes the care of the rest of the flock. I didn't know roosters could be like that.
