    Cost of eggs vs day old chicks

    Maybe this has been addressed somewhere else but I couldn't find it. Why do hatching eggs cost at least as much and most of the time much more, than day old chicks? This doesn't make sense to me. You have time and energy invested to get the day old chicks, how can they be less expensive than the...

    How much for a Golden Polish roo?

    We have a 22 week old Golden Polish roo named Don Juan (wife wouldn't let me name him Don King LOL). We are looking to sell him but aren't sure what an appropriate price would be. We got him as the exotic chick in a batch from McMurray. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    Is this a SPR hen?

    We are trying to confirm what this hen is. We think we have it narrowed down to a Silver Penciled Rock. Are we missing anything?

    When to remove the broody???

    We have had one of our Golden Comet hens that went broody, sitting on 3 of our duck eggs. Last evening she hatched all three How long should you let the surragote mother stay with the ones she hatches? I'm hoping that since she has now hatched something that she will get back to normal. Right...

    Rough shelled egg

    We have been getting one egg a day for about a week now that is very rough on the outside. Almost like the full thickness of shell isn't getting deposited. Where it is less, it is rather thin. Any idea what is causing this? All the other eggs are fine.

    Can't figure these out.

    We got a batch of fly tyers special from McMurray a few months back. I think I have figured out what all we got except for these. The first ones we thought were Silver Pencilled Wyandot roos. One thing that has thrown me for a loop is that of the 4 of these that we have, two of them have a...

    Best way to prepare eggs to sell.

    What is the best way to prepare eggs to sell? We have brown chicken and white duck eggs that we would like to sell. The chicken eggs are mostly clean, have occasional mud when we have rainy weather. They clean well with a little water. The duck eggs are always a bit muddy even though bedded...

    Still hatchable??

    OK, here is the situation. We have a Golden Comet hen that went broody on us. My Khaki Campbell ducks have been laying for a month or so now. In order to give her something to do, we put one of the Khaki Campbell eggs under her (yes we have a drake so it could be fertile). Daily we take out any...

    How long to reach productive laying?

    My khaki campbells (3 hens) started to lay a couple of weeks ago. The first day was 2 eggs and then 1 or 0 each day since. How long should it take for them to start producing regularly and for the eggs to reach normal size?

    Color of duck eggs

    My Khaki Campbells just started laying. The eggs come out an off white. We general have to do some rinsing off since they never fail to step all over them before I have collected them. Even when we rinse (no scrubbing or scraping) them off they still look sort of dirty. Is this normal? We would...

    Too many drakes?

    Currently we have 3 Khaki Campbell hens and 2 drakes. We have kind of gotten attached to both the drakes but have been wondering how this proportion will work out long term. So far everything has gone well but the concern is next Spring when the boys kick it into high gear, are 2 going to be too...

    First eggs! Woohoo!!

    My 19 week old Khaki Campbell ducks surprised me Tuesday by laying their first eggs. Not only did I get one, but two! Here they are beside some of our chicken eggs. I was a bit surprised because a lot of people have said that they would not lay until 22-24 weeks. I guess it is better early...

    Ducks eating corn silk

    We were doing some corn husking near the play pen where our ducks and chickens range about. We noticed that the ducks would put their heads through the fence in order to get at the corn silk. Will corn silk harm them in any way? They seem to really like eating it.
