So, I have two hens that have been laying on eggs for like two weeks now. We want them to hatch eggs, but none of the eggs they are laying on are fertilized because the roo is a bantam and the hens are pretty big So, is it okay to buy some hatching eggs online? And if so, how many? TIA!
I am wanting to start having free ranged quail. I've read that if you provide them with a return box, they will come back to it and lay their eggs. Is this true?
I have been trying to get help on sexing my silkies, but I have had no luck... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, please excuse my crazy friends taking pictures with my chickens!

I am looking for a reliable incubator that is within my budget of $150. Preferrably no styrofoam because of all of the bad reviews I have gotten. Any suggestions?
Okay, so I have three silkies (2 hens/1 roo) and three laying hens. I want to put them all together in the same coop but will the silkie roo fertilize the laying hen's eggs? Also, how many out of the silkie's eggs willbe fertilized (an estimate)?
