Hello! First time incubating. I started on a Tuesday, then went in a trip until Saturday. I got home to find that the humidity was too low, like 20% (forgot to tell my husband to add water to the water bins....). So I wasn't sure what day was what. Anyways, we candled at 14 days, and there were...

Hello! I purchased and hatched a few eggs earlier this year, and I wanted to ask for opinions on a couple breeds. The two opal legbars we hatched are roosters, and a copper maran is a rooster. We would only like to keep one rooster and noticed them already challenging each other (which right now...

Hello! I have a black copper maran cockerel about 7 weeks old now. We have currently a laying Easter Egger hen with light teal eggs. If we hatch their eggs someday and get a hen, would she lay a darker color teal? Also, we will have an F1 olive egger hen laying by fall. If we hatch the BC...
