    Hen is Laying Two Eggs: Concerning??

    I have a two-year-old Wheaten Marans hen that consistently lays two eggs in one day. One egg is normal and then the other has a weak shell. Although I read that this can happen sometimes, but should I be concerned if this happens often? I feed my hens Purina Layena pellets and provide oyster...

    Call Duck Genetics

    My black bibbed call duck hatched some ducklings a couple of weeks ago. So the father is a grey color, but the ducklings all look black-bibbed. What is the reasoning behind this?

    Male or Female Marans??

    I hatched out some splash Wheaton, Wheaton, and blue Wheaton marans and they are now 3 weeks. These two I can’t tell if they are male or female. What do you think?

    Shipped Egg Question

    Okay...the hen that I am using to raise the chicks is a white wyndotte. She's pretty big and fluffy so I know she wouldn't have problem with chicks.

    Shipped Egg Question

    Well if you think about it not all of the eggs will hatch. Shipped eggs usually decreases the hatch rate and I know not all of them are going to hatch. And because it’s getting warmer the chicks wouldn’t have to go under their mom that much. So I’m not really worry about the chicks being warm enough

    Shipped Egg Question

    So each order there are 12++ eggs. The reason why I am only going to use one hen is number of things. The main reason is I only have room for one hen and her chicks. I have limited space so it would be easier for me. Second, one of the hens is a first time broody and I am little scared because I...

    Shipped Egg Question

    I order some hatching eggs on ebay and one of them is on the way while the other hasn't shipped yet. My concern is they won't arrive at the same time and I tried to purchase then together so they would be shipped out on the same day. Note I bought them from 2 different sellers. I have two broody...
