    Duck or Chicken eggs?

    I'm thinking of selling a Porcelin hen and might have a few chicks here soon, all are pure bred. Any idea how much I should sell them for? I know they're not great egg layers, so that might lower their value some. I currently have 2 Porcelin hens and 1 Porcelin roo. I want to keep my...

    Pipping, need some advice

    I have a turkey egg that pipped this morning. It's beak is out, but it hasn't made any progress for the past 6 hrs, not even moved. I know it's still alive because I can see it's beak moving like it's breathing. I'm worried that maybe there's not enough room in the egg for it to move around...
