Attached are pictures of what I saw.

I'm watching my chicks grow and I see different wing types. Is this a gender thing? Some have LONG wings and are getting tails and other have short wings and no tails. My Delaware chicks are the white ones and the striped ones are Delaware/Wyandotte cross. What's really interesting is that I...

So I am well aware most people say wing feathers sexing isn't accurate. One of the questions I have is about the difference in the single row of feathers or the double row of feathers. I have some smaller chicks that had the double row of feathers coming in but most have the single row... Which...

Incubator: Nurture Right 360 2 Govee hygrometers: bathroom and inside incubator Eggs set: 22 Temperature: Bathroom stayed about 72-73 Incubator bounced from 98-100. I found cold spots but the eggs were rotating so it seemed fine. Humidity: Bathroom stayed around 56% and incubator stayed...

Where is this chipmunk type pattern coming from? My Delawares were all yellow or white as chicks and the Wyandottes were black with bits of gold as chicks. The roo is Delaware and the hens are Golden Laced Wyandottes. Some of the chicks came out with a bit of red color on the back of the neck...

Can chicks hatch in the 40% range without getting shrink wrapped? Or does it need to be in the 50% range? I'm talking about lockdown here. We are on day 18 tomorrow.

So the Easter eggers seem to have larger size air cells for the most part. My Delaware and Wyandottes have what seems like smaller air cells. I am dry hatching with a high room humidity. Bathroom 55% Govee inside incubator 32-35% Day 10. I know bigger air cell sizes means that they need a little...

I see the blood vessels and that looks about the same as the other eggs. The chick doesn't move. All the other chicks were moving. Do they sleep or stay still for long periods of time? If there are blood vessels does that mean it's alive? The chick seems to slosh around if I move the egg gently...

So I set eggs yesterday and I've been watching the temp and humidity inside the incubator with the Govee. It's bouncing between 98.4 and 100 degrees and the humidity is bouncing between 34-38%. I've been reading that for dry incubating it should be between 15-30%. I am dry incubating because...

Incubator says 99.5 and Govee says 99.3. Is 99.3 too low and should I bump it up to 100?

This sounds a bit odd. What I mean is .. if you hatch a small egg will the chicken ever grow to be a large chicken? Does egg size indicate chicken size? So for example my rooster is a big boy but one of my hens is small and lays smaller eggs than the rest. Would hatching her eggs just make more...

So yesterday I found a hidden mating injury on my hen. It's under the wing and well hidden. I've separated her to heal up and have trimmed my roosters spurs. I used a dog nail clipper and only took the very tip off. Unfortunately he still had a spot of blood and I put the styptic powder on right...

I think I am as prepared as I can be. I'm going to set around 13-15 eggs.

I want to make sure I have everything in order. 1. I need additional hygrometers to put in with the eggs. 2. Do not wash eggs, pick the cleanest and most uniform looking eggs. 3. Florida is humid so I want to try dry hatching. Can't go below about 20% right? 4. Lockdown means not candling...

The girls are white but my boy has turned yellow. Why is this happening?

Why do 2 of my almost 14 week old pullets keep their tails down? They are either down or like straight but these 2 never have raised their tails!! They are both Delawares and are as sweet as can be. My 3rd Dellie puts her tail up just a bit but not super high either. My Wyandotte pullets have...

These boys are beautiful and lovely tempered. They will be an excellent flock guard if anyone needs a flock leader. They are currently 12 weeks old. I have 5 cockerels. I'm trying to keep 3 and these 2 boys will go to freezer camp if they can't find a home. They are such nice boys I am trying to...

He is the most lovable little guy. He's catching fowl pox from the big boys unfortunately.

There is nothing else on any other chicken. Just him.
