    You can feather sex after the second day who ever has wings is a girl. and a short comb. Vent sexing is if you ever have seen baby's lips and on the top lip they have a little bulge in the center of the lip that is what a boy looks like (if they were standing upright.) a girl in the same spot...

    My avatar has not laid a fertile egg yet, I am still hoping. Today she laid a nice light green egg with brown spots. It is so pretty I think she took her time with this egg. So I hope it is fertile.

    I have about 9 eggs set from my hens. I liked the EE rooster I had for 3 weeks, he is red. I am afraid I may end up with all black chicks. IDK. The good thing about him, he never tried to attack me, I could walk up and pet him, He was polite to hens, and he didn't crow the whole 3 weeks he was...

    Even if you set shipped and your hens eggs the same day, every day you hold an egg, it may take another 6 hrs to hatch. Shipped eggs can be 4 or more day old by the time you get them.

    I forgot to mention on my 2 clear shipped eggs I pulled yesterday, were Welsummer, and a buckeye. When I was candling yesterday I bumped an egg on the turner, it didn't break it but rattled it. It doesn't look too good on the insides. That may be a quitter ...now. That one was a frizzle EE...

    yes, I am hoping for frizzles, and NN from my hens+ interesting egg layers. Plus what ever I bought shipped. I may or may not keep all of them, but I can pick through and see what I want.

    My avatar laid her egg finally. I don't know if it is fertile, she doesn't lay enough for me to crack open and find out. I have to assume though because others are fertile. I am heating up hers with some others in a separate incubator. They will be a few days behind the shipped, and some...

    My Avatar was not laying, so I had to finally set my hen's egg today. I saw her in a section of the coop dust bathing with a friend, I scolded her..."What are you doing wasting time time, taking dust baths? Go lay an egg!!" I am sure now that I said that I will find an egg in her box tomorrow.

    Most of the eggs loose air cells are re-attached. I am leaving the others and checking on Monday. One egg (BO) looks like a blood ring. The rest look good. I decided to save up my hens' eggs until I get one from my avatar. I did get one from my black frizzle.

    I was hoping to have my chickens eggs in incubator at the same time as the shipped. My rooster is doing his job, but they will be hatching a day or 2 behind. I have some eggs, but I am waiting for the 2 hens I really want. And now the weather got cold here. I hope they will still lay. 11 degrees...

    I would not use the plastic tote, because of the mosture, and I don't use shavings either. A cardboard box I could throw away and get a new one. Currently my 6 week old chicks are in an bookshelf set on it's back with the shelves out. (it is just a border) I plan on moving them to a sectioned...

    I am still going to try and set some of my eggs. the EE rooster is less shy, and I think I did see some bullseyes. Just a few and I am also waiting on a couple more eggs to be laid. Below what I have so far. The blue ones are either bluebell eggers, or NN/EE, the dark green is OE, and the white...
