fertilized eggs

Hello. I've had a broody hen for a week now, we have done the wired cage, kicking her out of the coop, closing the pen(they free range in the property) but she is a hard one to break the cycle I'm wondering if I am able to get some fertilized eggs and put them under her, once they hatch , would...

Hello, I am located near Ottawa/Cornwall/Brockville. I am searching for hatching eggs for my incubator. I don’t need any special breeds, barnyard layers are fine! Layers preferred. I am willing to drive within that triangle and a bit outside of it. Thank you!

Looking for a few fertilized Blue Australorp eggs for one of my girls to hatch. I’m in Texas.

Hi, so I want to preface by saying that I'm not normally a chicky person. A friend brought over farm fresh eggs but when I was making my breakfast yesterday one of the eggs was too fresh if you know what I mean. I felt really bad about killing an egg that had a viable embryo in it and so I...

Looking to incubate some eggs if my young rooster is in action. Pretty sure this is fertile… but can anyone verify for me?

So my only hen(vanaraja from breed) is very lonely. I have a few fertilized eggs and during lockdown i couldn't find another chicken. So i decided to keep the fertilized chicken into her nest. But she broke one. So i further decided to put fake eggs into her nest. How much time would if take for...

Wanting suggestions on where to purchase fertilized (preferably fawn & white) runner duck eggs. I live in the PNW and am happy to buy local but I mostly just want to know the most trusted places. Also this is my first post so I'm not sure if I'm doing this right 😅

Hi! Over the summer I hatched 3 Khaki Campbell Ducks and now that they are fully colored I can accurately say that I have one drake and two females. They are about 5 months old now and I have noticed that my one drake keeps mounting and grabbing the neck of the bigger female. When do ducks...

Not really, but never got around to introducing myself. Just why I began raising chickens, not totally sure, but it has been interesting to say the least. That old yarn about chickens being dumb, those people have obviously never raised chickens. Stupid they are not, limited, yes, but they'll...

Hi all, we acquired 5 chicks back on May 31 (1 Rhode Island Red, 2 Easter Eggers, and 2 Silkies). Turns out 1 of the silkies is a rooster. And naturally he's been one of my favorites so I'd love to keep him. It's fine from a legal standpoint but want to understand what it means for our flock...

Hello! So, my roo is 6 months old now and I am beginning to get eggs that have a bit more prominent white spot on the yolk. However, the ones from this morning had a rather hard, flat, white disk attached to the yolk by a string. The disks were about a half inch in diameter. It didn't look like...

Parthenogenesis aside, Anyone know how long a bred turkey lays fertilized eggs once separated from a Tom? We have been letting all our turkeys free range together on the property but due to an incident, we need to pen them up. Since we are also starting to sell the chicks we want to separate...

I currently have 3 chickens and 2 Guinea hens. My Red cross chicken has been broody on and off. I should be receiving 6 fertilized eggs this week. I want to put them in the coop for her to hatch. I wanted to make sure that the Guineas and others don't bother her or the chicks so I made a cage...

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has tips on where I could get about 2 dozen fertilized chicken eggs near Los Angeles. Each year in kindergarten we incubate eggs in our classrooms and this year our normal contact had the eggs eaten by rats! We're not sure where else to look. If you have ideas...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if this egg is fertilized? In my flock i have one silkie hen and one silkie roo. I beleive this was my silkies egg as it was smaller and paler than the rest. If it is fertilized than it tells me my silkie is in fact laying and my roo is being a roo. lol

Hi I have 7 hens and I have always wanted a rooster but I don't want to eat fertilized eggs. I have been doing some thinking and would like to MAYBE get a rooster could we get 2 or would they fight, also would it be ok to get one (or 2) in early fall. Is there anyway to keep him from beating...

I have been keeping chickens for less than a year, but I have nearly an entirely new flock and focus. I buy, hatch, raise, and sell purebred stock and fertilized eggs as well as maintain a separate mixed flock of hybrid, sex-linked, and production layers for selling organic eating eggs and...

I'm fairly new to backyard chickens. I have my first flock as of April 2018. There are two ~9 month old silkies and three ~5 month old large fowl. One of my sweet silkie girls has gone broody. From everything I read, a broody chicken is mean and will 'growl' and snap at you. But this girl does...

I am new to this site and was not able to find a place to post breeder review, so I am posting this thread in forum. I urge everyone who is thinking to buy or already bought chickens from Sunny Side Up Ranch in Norco CA to read their yelp reviews at...

I got 4 eggs from my cousin that owes a egyptian duck, goose, (not sure). And he said he had them for 1 week but he says he isnt sure. I put them in a homemade incubator (I'm getting a good incubator soon). I candled the eggs but I can't tell. I can send more pictures if anyone needs them.
