    Adding essential oil to water reservoir in incubator?

    I didn’t think about the strength in such a small space, I guess that would be like setting eggs in a diffuser…probably not an excellent idea like I thought earlier :(

    Adding essential oil to water reservoir in incubator?

    I think that's an excellent idea, but I don't know about the safety maybe someone else will; I would definitely try it myself :)

    What is this white covering on the egg?

    I was thinking it might be calcium.

    What is this white covering on the egg?

    It doesn't wash off, but you can scratch it off.

    What is this white covering on the egg?

    We have been getting these strange white covered eggs from our less than year old golden laced wyandotte hen. The white on them has been increasing until now it covers the whole egg. What can cause this? She often times also has a red blood spot in her eggs which concerns me.

    Bearded Belgian d'uccle chicken varieties

    Sorry it took me so long to respond. She has 2 mille fleur hens, a golden neck rooster, a porcelain rooster and a porcelain hen. She said that she would love to see pictures of the birds you have. How much do you charge for eggs? We are in NC. Thanks again!

    Duckling hatching?

    The little guy passed away. From what I could see it hadn't absorbed its yolk much at all. My incubator's humidity and temp kept fluctuating much more than it should and was much hotter in the back row which is where all of the early hatchers were located. I now have 3 healthy ducklings hatched...

    Duckling hatching?

    I am very confused by this egg/duckling. The duckling is trying to hatch, but there’s lots of yuck coming out too, is it safe to leave it in with the others while hatching? They are also hatching 3 days early, my incubator is fluctuating temp and humidity terribly.

    porcelain d'uccle chick beak

    Here is a closeup of her head and beak; it almost seems like there is a gap between the top and bottom.

    porcelain d'uccle chick beak

    We have 5 d'uccle chicks and the smallest one's beak is smaller and almost parrot-like, is this a problem? We are new to d'uccles and unsure if this should be a fault or a culling point for our future breeding program. Thanks! ( I wish the picture showed it better, I will try to get another...
