    Sexing Polish Bantam Chicks

    No crows yet, I think they are all pullets. No red combs or waddles. I'll post some new pictures later, they are over 8 weeks now. I'm pretty certain the white crested black is female, and I think the other two are female as well.

    Japanese Bantam External Pip

    Yes, the chick ended up hatching ok, but I had to help him out quite a bit. The inner membrane was wrapped tightly around it. I believe it was shrink wrapped, had to peel it away.

    Egg Disappears under Silkie

    I am the third owner of this silkie, but I assume this is the first time she's tried to hatch chicks. I have had her for over a year. She is at least four years old, likely older than that.

    Bantam Egg Pipped not Zipped

    Thanks for the advice. This one hasn't zipped like all the others that have hatched. He started from the bottom then turned around and broke thru the other side. He looks like he's trying to kick out but he hasn't zipped all the way thru in one direction. This is what he looks like this morning...
