Hey all! Really dumb question here. My flock produces about 9-14 eggs a day. I’d like to fill the incubator but that’s two day’s worth of eggs. Can I save day 1 eggs on the counter (75-78 degrees) in a carton, and then collect the next day’s batch to put them all in the incubator together at...

Thank you! Baby has been up and about acting completely normal.

Hello! My husband and I hatched our very first batch of eggs from our flock this weekend! We had 100% hatch rate and supervised most of the hatching or right afterwards. We have moved everyone to the brooder. Today we noticed this on the read end of one of them. We’ve dealt with pasty butt...

Hello everyone! I never knew how deep into genetics you can dive when you start breeding and cross breeding to get fun variances! We have a mix of egg colors coming up in our flock and I’m looking for some help in better understanding the possible outcomes, and corrections on any wrong...

Hello it’s me again - trying to understand chicken genetics! Would crossing a blue copper maran rooster with a silver laced wyandotte create a sex linked chick? Thanks in advance!

Gotcha, thanks! What if we crossed our blue copper Maran with a silver laced Wyandotte? Would that produce a sex link? Chicken genetics … I am still new and learning!

Good morning! If I cross a golden buff rooster that comes from a sex linked cross (likely a RIR cross) with one of my silver laced Wyandottes will their offspring be sex linked in appearance? Thanks !
