I am about to put 7 bantam eggs into lockdown on day 18.5, 6 of the eggs are of normal developement for day 18 (the fetuses fill all “non-airsac” egg space), but one of the eggs appears to be developmentally behind, as if it were on day 15 or so, with the fetus only filling 2/3 of the...

FRIZZLE GENE QUESTION! I have Zero visibly frizzled birds, though I do have one straight-feathered Cochin that was born of a friend’s frizzled hen. 1. Does this mean she carries the frizzle gene still? 2. If I breed her with a non-frizzle rooster, could the offspring still potentially be...
