Last chick hatched last night at around 9:30. Always one that is a little behind the 8 ball, but I'm not complaining. Got 11 out of 12 eggs to hatch with healthy fluffy little fuzzy butts now occupying my temporary brooder in the bathroom. Egg #12 was clear. It's looking like by all the little...

#7 and 8 out of the shell now. First 6 had to be moved to the big brooder box as they were having a gang cuddle puddle in the incubator and trying to crawl under one another. Last three are well pipped and one is showing signs of being restless. I'll take a picture when they are all hatched.

Had my first pips yesterday evening. Figured no action until later. I was up at 2:30 with no zips visible but lots of good pips. Woke up at 7 to rain and hail pounding on the metal roof, got up and was greeted with this little SDW OEGB peering at me through the dome. Lack of eye shadow makes...

Thank you and Oh My! I hope it isn't but I've learned the hard way that if you suspect it , it might be your worse fears, ' How old is the boy and what other symptoms does he have? Is he thin? Is he eating? etc. Other things it could be but usually Marek's is at the top of the list in young...

All resistant birds since the vaccinated breeding stock I bought. I read somewhere where they are debating whether resistance is passed on via the hen into the chick from the vaccination. Last year I hatched Egyptian Fayoumi chicks from my breeding stock and have hatched two roosters from them...

Can I play? Set 12 SDW and BBR OEGB pure and cross eggs in my Brinsea Eco Mini on March 41. ETA: 3/19-3/2. Did my first candling this morning officially and could spot vascularization in all but one egg. It looks very porous for some reason and is hard to visualize. Scene the evening of the...
