So my neighbor ended up with a Roo and is now getting the complaints to get rid of it (no roos allowed here). We all love it so decided to hatch some eggs from his line before he has to go. She gave me a few eggs and so far 100% fertility rate. On day 12 now, but I candled at day 10 and one egg...

Good Morning Everyone, First time attempting hatching quail, currently in lockdown at day 15. Went to do a temp/hydrometer check and noticed what appeared to be a pip but at the wrong end of the egg. Grabbed a few pictures, and I know nothing was cracked going into lockdown. Not hearing any...

Appears one of my flock started laying yesterday. Egg up top is my Copper Marans egg for comparison, middle is the mystery and bottom is an Ayam Cemani. Was out most of the day and came back to three eggs, though I didn't do a late check last night. Current flock: 1 Black Copper Marans - 1...

New to olive eggers and I know she's a bit young still but wondering if anyone with more experience in them has any input/ideas. 6 Week T2 Olive Egger T1 Olive Egger Hen x Marans Rooster

Ok, first time owning an AC and she laid her first egg today! I understand they go through laying phases - lay for a while, stop for a while, start again, etc. - found a lot of information on this. The one thing I can't find is how frequently they lay while in a laying phase. When in this phase...

Rescued Eos from a farm. After we got her first eggs I noticed she was fertile. Put over 9 eggs in the incubator and several developed but all were quitters, all at different points. Found out later that's why the farm was gonna sell/cull her, none of her eggs ever hatched. After my son...

Just had a quick question to those who sell hatching eggs. I only just recently got into incubating hatching eggs, had a lot of people suggest a local seller. My town prohibits Roos so can't get my own. Orderd a half dozen from this seller last month, she gave 8, only 3 showed development and of...

Ok everyone, after my last incubator had a terrible hatch rate and found out it was wildly off on temp I purchased a new Brinsea Maxi Advance II. Temp sensor is off by +1° according to my Temp/Hydrometer (Govee, also brand new). Unit is set to 100.5 to account for the 1°, these are the readings...

Just sharing some pictures of my build - would love any advice or upgade ideas. Just realized I don't have many pictures of the inside lol. The wall side facing the deck has a large rectangular window for most of the ventillation. Also have a 2" gap along both side walls where the roof rafters...

So I'm aware crossing a BCM x Cream Legbar will result in a sex link, all black pullets, barred with white spot on head for cockrels. I was curious if BCM x Opal Leg Bar would be the same - only one hatched so far, has the white dot so I'm thinking cockrel but wanted to be sure.

Good Afternoon everyone, in need of a bit of advice here. First time incubating eggs. I rescued a copper marans that happened to be laying fertile and put a few of her eggs in to incubate. Purchased 4 F1 Olive Egger hatching eggs to increase hatch rate. In the end 2 of the F1 eggs and 2 of the 3...
