Nope. I just double checked with our house sitter. All of the eggs were put in at the same time.

Sure! Here are two new pics of both the air sac, and the extra space on the small end. It’s as active as ever! And still has clearly defined veining.

Yes! It is! I keep expecting it to be dead, but it is a full blown writhing fetus.

Yes, The air sac is on the larger end, you are, of course, Correct... In the photo, the dotted line depicts the air cell; I am candling the small end of the egg, as to show the excess space that this fetus has not yet filled. I would have also suspected that the egg was incubating in a cold...

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...

fixed it ;)

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...

is anyone aware of a source for Bantam Marans? I’ve been keeping my eye out for About a year now, and just can’t seem to find any online sellers within the states. Thanks!

Beautiful!! She looks like a pullet to me! I think that if she has gotten less brown and more grey since hatch, the grey is probably going to stick around.

Praying! I would do them on their side, since you have had success with that, and maybe monitor them closely on hatch day. The pot of steaming water and blanket trick that I talked about in this thread really does help you open the lid with little to no fluctuation to temp and humidity. I really...

Thank you. What do you mean by “color in”?

This is a 6 week old silkie that I suspect is a rooster. Included is a current picture of its comb developement. Is there any chance he may still be a she? Thank you!

I have Two 5/wk old silkies. A white, and a partridge. I am remaining hopeful that the partridge is a pullet, but what do y’all silkie experts think about the started comb development on the white one? Thank you very much for your time.

this is a six week old sultan that is starting to have some comb development. I am assuming that it is going to be a roo, could I be wrong? Do the pullets develope combs as well? Thanks!

Wow! That’s great to hear! I was expecting to have to wait it out with this one, as I just couldn’t find info. Thanks!

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. That is some hopeful news as well!

Sorry, haha, me too!

i have a 3 week old blue belgian bearded d'anver. Would anyone with experience with this breed be able to tell me what traits I can start to look for in determining the sex? I understand he may be to young right now, but I’d just like to know what I can keep an eye out for, as I have found...

I have a 4 week old turken, that is probably to young to sex, but do any experienced Turken folk have any advice on what I could be looking out for as it grows in determining the sex? At what age can you typically tell with Turkens? What do you look out for first? Thank you!
