    Name the breed of this mystery chick?

    Hi! This mystery chick hatched from a medium brown egg 4 days ago. Any idea what breed he/she may be? It’s very spunky, digs in the shavings more than the others, and likes to chest bump the other chicks. Not that any of that has anything to do with the type of chicken they’ll grow up to be:)

    First-time Duck Momma and her Babies

    My 9 month old Fawn & White Runner duck hen that only started laying eggs 2 months ago started setting on eggs a month ago, and she actually sat all the way through to hatch!

    Hello everybody! I'm about to start my second incubator journey. Last year, I managed to have a ~90% success rate with my bator, of combined duck and chicken eggs. First time was rather lucky as far as the incubating went. Back then, I had more time on my hands since I did it on a school break...

    First time hatching from my own flock

    3rd time incubating but these are eggs from my own birds. The first two times were with shipped eggs and hatch rate was not great but not zero. Now I can finally compare with eggs that are not pre-scrambled. I expect most of these eggs to hatch aside from any blanks (I suspect a few to be...

    Are the eggs going to hatch?

    I have a hen ( Greasy) and this is her first time hatching any babies. She's approximately 3-4 days away from hatching the eggs but the only problem I just found out is that she doesn't have any hay under her eggs. I don't know if this will affect the egg hatching or will prevent them from...
