    Blue dot on duck egg shell

    Peking ducks. 2 male, 1 female. They roam where the want, and she tends to just drop her eggs in random places. Lately they have all been in the same general vicinity though. Typically the eggs are all white. They spot does wipe away when scraped with a fingernail.

    Blue dot on duck egg shell

    I can post a photo later, but the last 2 duck eggs I collected had a blue/teal dot (almost looked like somebody took a fine tip marker and put a dot on the egg shell). It was on the top of the egg as it lay there. Any clue as to what this might mean?

    Broody b---h.

    Ideas how to break a broody chicken. We couldn't break it, so we out eggs under her that should hatch soon. Once they hatch, I would like to break the broodiness. She is a buff Orpington. Ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Still waiting

    My first chicken hatched last night!! There are two more eggs that had been rockin and Rollin but have gone still this morning. No pipping yet. One might be moving very slightly. But that might also be caused by the little chick. Any advice on waiting time would be great! And when do I move...

    First hatch anxiety

    Earlier this year I tried hatching duck eggs. The 4 of 11 that made it through to lockdown, died before even pipping. Second try- neighbor brought over fertile eggs. They weren't. Third times a charm? Bought fertile eggs from mypetchicken.com. 3 of the 7 were fertile. Today was day 20 (or...
