My brahma laid her first egg this morning. I guess it hit the wood floor of the nest box. It has a small crack. Nothing was leaking out of it and I had collected it soon after she laid it then put it in the fridge. Will it be safe to eat tomorrow morning?

I have been incubating my eggs for 20 days now and i still don't see any development except for in one egg. They are due to hatch tomorrow. Even though I don't see any development, I also don't smell any wicked smells. Do you think it is worth it to crack an egg open. I literally have RIR eggs...

Hi I just went to turn a egg in the incubator and I noticed one of the eggs was quite badly cracked it was intact and had no signs of fluid leaking but as i'm not experienced I took it out right away and threw it out (It was definately fertile I checked and it was) right away because I was...

...is appreciated on the cracking egg dilemma. I am raising them for the eggs to eat, not to breed at this point. We don't eat any of the cracked eggs, I cook them up and feed them crushed shell and all back to the ducks and chickens so they are not wasted, but we sure would prefer eating them!

Hi all So I've looked thru these boards and googled a lot. But wondering what nuggets of advice I can field here. Eggs are cracking VERY easily. I'm finding them in the coop cracked (they scratch out all and every laying buffer I've put down). When I pick them up and put on the counter, they...

This morning I wanted to check the fertility of my girls first egg plus use the egg for french toast. I cracked it on the side of a pyrex glass pan and uhhh...The egg barely showed a crack. The pan however has a chip...so if you plan on using your goose eggs for cooking don't crack the egg on...

So, my production red had a really rough start to egg laying. But, now that she seems to have it mostly figured out, I've noticed her eggs are always cracked/broken in the exact same spot. At first, I thought the were breaking on the way out, so I added extra padding to the nesting box. Then...

So my EE laid her first egg today! She scratched all the pine shaving out of the nesting box, which I think resulted in this slight cracking on the top of the egg. I've since changed the bedding to a mixture of pine straw and shavings. Hopefully that will help. My question though, does all...

I should have got a photo too, but I was making pancakes, so.... I've had blood spots often enough but this was more than that. It looked like an intact blood vessel, thick at one end and wrapped around two sides of the yolk. The blastodisc was still clearly visible and I don't think it was a...
