    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Hello! Have an EE that I wanted to share with y'all. Not sure if this one is a hen or a roo...still might be a bit early to tell for sure, but I figured I'd run it by some trained eyes first. **now that I think about it I am I'm leaning towards hen (mainly due to the lack of a developing comb)...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    Happy Easter! Hatch is going okay so far. I ran into a couple issues that I though you guys might be able to help me with. I have 6 chicks that hatched out perfectly fine, no issues during zip or anything. However I have atleast 4 (possibly more) that piped and then died in their shell. That...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    First off, weird is normal here. Second, unfortionately... I have never seen a "normal" blood ring. So if you are absolutely positive that what you saw was a blood ring, then the embryo has died or is going to (depending on when the ring formed and when you candled it) :(

    Review by '' on item 'GQF Hova-Bator #1583 Picture Window Turbofan Egg Incubator'

    This is a great second option if you don't want to spend the extra $50 for the genesis 1588 or a Brinsea (but If you have the cash go for a Brinsea Eco or Genesis 1588 it's worth the money!) I got it from a friend 3 years ago and I have successfully hatched 5+ batches out of this incubator (one...

    Luckily it is forced air...but it's old. What incubator are you currently relying on? Thanks for the tip! I do have a new accurate thermometer so incorrect readings shouldn't be an issue. Room temperature should remain stable +/-2degrees or so. I just hope the temp fluctuation hasn't caused...

    The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

    I have to express my incubator rage to my fellow online poultry folks...My family doesn't quite share the same passion as I do. My old hovabator incubator will not keep a stable temp! It ranges about 4 degrees, in fact, just this morning I woke up to find it at a min of 97.3 and a max of 101.4...
