    Determining pied

    What qualifies as pied? I have a few birds that have white flights and throat latches, but they also have a small amount of white on the lower shoulders, above the flight feathers. Would these be considered pied?

    Peachick with leg sticking straight out?

    How do I fix a Peachick with its leg sticking straight out? The leg almost looks like it’s hyperextended. The leg bends normally when I physically move it. Hobbling the chick doesn’t seem to help as it just lays and doesn’t walk. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Impeyan Egg Incubation

    I am planning to incubate Impeyan eggs in my gqf 1502 sportsman cabinet incubator. What humidity should I aim for? I want to incubate and hatch in the same machine without increasing the humidity as I will have eggs at different stages of development. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
