    Egg Fertility Question

    I have a hen currently sitting on some eggs. Today is day 3 and I candled the eggs to check for anything, as I don't want her sitting on a nest with no fertile eggs. The only hatching experience I have was last year, but even then, the eggs were already a week into development when I got them...

    What is wrong with these chicks!?

    I have some 6 week old chicks. 1 cochin, and 2 OEGB/Japanese bantam crosses. They are really weird, and it's a bit concerning... Strange behavior 1: The cochin is a cockerel. At only a few weeks he was trying to mount his mother, a silkie cross. He also proceeded to try and mount my knee...

    My favorite hen, Baby chick, (a 11-month-old silkie mix) hatched out three chicks 5 weeks ago.
