    Unexpected color on chick

    This is our very yellow girl, though the camera makes her look a lot more orange/red than she is. She's a lot more yellow in person.

    Unexpected color on chick

    A melanistic chick, we know the parents were the ayam cross and a mixed hen of undetermined origin who also had some melanism going on (she's black with a gold neck and faint coloring on some of her feathers). This pattern below here is interesting! He's one of the Brahma crosses. The other...

    Duck egg incubation question

    We've been turning them twice a day religiously, as well as misting them. This worked perfectly for our last batch and I'm just very confused about this one egg. June 6th is our first hatch day (since ducks sometimes take a bit longer and all) so we are on day 18-19 (it's midnight here). We are...

    Duck egg incubation question

    We noticed tonight during candling that one egg seems to be stuck to the membrane or have some sort of issue with the veins. It almost seems like there may be blood inside the egg. If anyone has any info on what this could be, I'd love to hear it. Should we remove the egg? Hope it hatches? The...

    Thank you! We haven't found them homes quite yet but I have had a few people make copies of my flyer in the local feed store, so we may have interest soon! I figure they'll at least sell for sure when when they're started pullets
