I honestly don’t know. My experience is with Orientals, and even that is limited. I haven’t had luck with any coexisting while free ranging (under any circumstances).
Males that weren’t gamefowl were tolerated, as long as they didn’t pick fights.
Your space is likely much bigger, and has a lot...
I’m very sorry you lost EightBall :hugs . Are you sure it was the ‘umbilical cord’?
I’ve had a few chicks hatch where their intestine was outside of their body (they hatched on their own, I never intervened), and they died after 24 or so hours post hatching.
First time it happened I thought it...
Glad to read that it’s a well-kept secret! We take our hot climate reputation very seriously :lol: .
Yup. Parnassos is a well-known ski village for our part of the country. I’m sure the northerners will disagree with me, but it’s got one of the best ski centres in Greece.
Granted, I haven’t...

We actually got snow here last year or the...
This time next week they’ll be total poop machines :lol: ! Enjoy it while it lasts!
Still no external pip from popcorn? Candle right before you make the hole on the shell. You’ll want to see if Popcorn has pipped internally, and where their beak rests (so that you don’t hurt them). The hole...
Yes :lol: . That’s probably the best thing I’ve read on this forum all day.
You can also do betadine, if you have it on hand. Just rinse it well with water after you’re done disinfecting. That applies to both methods
You could try making a small hole for popcorn to breathe from (if popcorn has pipped internally). Did the breeder ever respond to their hatch rates and/or need to assist during a hatch?
Congrats on all the hatches!
:wee
Go Popcorn! I wouldn’t worry. It’s only day 20. I’ve noticed that most stop wiggling heavily right before they pip. Shouldn’t be too long now!
