Ok so I placed 9 eggs that I had gotten from our hen house into our circulating air incubator, had the temp set to 100° F and kept the humidity around 55-60% and then bumped it up to 65-70% the last 3 days...by day 3 we only had 3 eggs that were fertilized and looked to be progressing well my...

Thank you forbthe replies! I'm not sure how high the edges are on te boxea I'll have to look and see, i was using fake easter eggs so they were pretty easy for them to kick out and break open and yes they are all just starting out laying, only been laying for a month or so! We're in the process...

I had fake eggs in all the boxes at one point and they kept knocking them out and breaking them open so i was afraid to keep them in there and let them get in the habit of pecking eggs?

I dont know what to do...i have 4 barred rock hens and all 4 fight over this one particular nesting box! I watched one hen literally get under another hen and kick her out of it this morning! They have 5 other boxes to choose from so why do they all seem to favor this one in particular!?

I feed layer crumbles (or pellets) and yes i supplement with oyster shells...I'm stumped :/

My guinea just started laying about a month ago and she's had normal eggs up until yesterday...yesterday the shell had tiny pits in it? Is there something i need to be doing to help this?

Thank you! I will try posting it there!

My guinea has been laying daily for about a week and a half now but today's egg had little tiny pits or holes all over it...can anyone tell me whats wrong or is there something i should be doing to help this? I feed layer crumbles and give oyster shells for calcium supplements

Thank you! That's what I thought too but just wasn't 100%
