Yes, it is a personal preference, some people believe that the medicated chick feed gives the chick a "Healthy Jump Start", while others believe that the medicated chick feed is like replacing the immune system, and that will actually make them less immune to diseases later. I personally don't...
At 18 days, I candled mine. She (a serama hen) was only sitting on three eggs, but all three hatched. You want to mark the date that she started SITTING on them, not the date that she laid them. And you don't want the hen to sit on the eggs too long after the eggs have 'expired' (meaning you...
This is a pure silver sussex rooster.

They are around 6-7...
