I got this chick at tractor trailer and notice it looks different than the rest. It’s more yellow, chunkier in feather fluff. I’m thinking it’s either yellow cause it’s young (never had this breed), or it’s a male.
It’s from a “female golden sex link” bin.
Compared to the rest, who are a bit...
Yeah it’s 99-101 all around. If this little one doesn’t hatch then that’ll be like the rest of the 14. My other clutch of 13 hatched 100%. These were shipped badly (tried twice with this seller with instructions for packaging!) so a lot were shook up. Only 6/14 were viable and they began...
it’s been 21 days, but my last hatch took 23. These eggs are a quarter size of that hatch though, serama vs. regular.
Should I candle for an internal pip and then count 24 hours? But I wouldn’t know if there was malposition in that case. I don’t know how to go about this.
you can try putting her in a dog cage with the flock. In and out of the coop. For two weeks or however long, until she becomes comfortable around them.
I’ve made safety holes three times before without problem on weird shaped eggs and malposition. This egg though is very rich in protein. Super hard on the shell that I can’t make a hole. That, and it’s skinny, so I’m seeing that and the problem if any. Any recommendations on how to open?
I’ve...
3/7 quit so I’ve got 4 live ones left. I’ve never had eggs this small- this sure is hard. My hatch rate is usually so much better!
I’ve got my large eggs on day 18 in a container with holes so that their humidity needs are met. Kind of multi tasking, so whatever happens happens.
I see the...
Did a clearing out of undeveloped eggs and out of 14, 7 started development. Not seeing it do well on the standing egg side. One looks like a quitter and another looks to be stuck. Only one fetus from that side jiggled when I turned the egg. Maybe I’m wrong though! The ones that I had on their...
Mine were on the 22nd so we’ll be neck and neck!
I was able to see life on the upright ones cause they were settled enough to turn for a second. In your case we’ll have to wait a few more days until there’s a web of veins all over, so it’s undeniable. Although I’m not familiar with how this...
