Cracked an egg opened this morning and found what looks like a red worm? Am I imagining this? Please advise. Do I need to throw away all my eggs? Thanks
Thank you for your input so far. I bought these birds through Mt. Healthy Hatchery. I purchased 2 SLW, 2 GLW, 4 EE, and 2 Welsummers. All Pullets. I was sent 12 chickens however, and so I think they included at least 2 roosters, but I don't know of which breed definitely. Which I cannot keep in...
Can you help me identify the gender of these chicks? They are around 7 weeks old. All were supposed to be sexed as Pullets. I wing sexed most of them at 2 days old as Pullets, too.
