    It’s a miracle! One egg that fell and cracked 1 week before hatch day and covered in wax for protection has hatched today!

    How soon after an egg is laid can you put it under a hen or into an incubator?

    Inside a hen is warm so I'm wondering if a very freshly laid egg needs to cool down first before it can be placed into an incubator to be warmed up again. I know that warming a cooled egg activates it, and this activation starts the chemical reaction which makes the fetus start developing. The...

    8 Eggs or Less Should be Given to Silky Hens who are Brooding! Gave my hen too many and now she seems injured

    I made the mistake of giving my broody silkie hen 10 eggs to hatch. She now makes the splits sometimes and falls. There was a 100% hatch rate so she had to sit on 10 eggs for the 20 day development period. And I didn't notice she was doing the splits until it was too late. So it's actually...

    Do freshly laid eggs develop faster than eggs laid a week or more ago?

    Do the embryos in freshly laid eggs develop faster than the embryos in eggs that were laid days or weeks before? I've noticed that an egg laid yesterday develops faster than eggs laid last week. Does anyone know if there's any science to this? Or am I just imagining things?

    Is it alright for more than one Broody Hen to hatch and share chicks?

    I have 2 broody hens sitting on 7 eggs that are due to hatch next week. Should I worry about this? Can there be more than 1 mommy hen for chicks and can they peacefully share chicks together? Or will they become violent against of each other and fight over the chicks? Do I have to choose 1 to be...

    Squishy Egg that has cracks but doesn't break. What's going on?

    My silkie hen just started laying but her first eggs have been squishy. When I press down on them they don't break open but crack everywhere and are very pliable and easy to morph into any shape. Does anyone know what's going on?

    A chick can breath through the pip

    After researching pips when a chick is beginning to hatch, I didn’t understand that it can breath fine, even if you can’t see the hole. Since I was under the wrong impression, I freaked out and helped a couple chicks hatch when I didn’t need to so I’m creating this thread so people can...

    How can you tell if a baby chick is a Seramas?

    How can you tell if a baby chick is a Seramas? Ordered 7 silkies online but received 6 silkies and 2 mystery chicks. The farm I ordered from also sells Seramas.

    Is there a difference between Indian run eggs and other duck breed eggs?

    My Indian runners have eggs of the size of chicken eggs and they are blue. My mom says that the eggs are easier on her stomach and system. Are Indian runner eggs different from other duck eggs when it comes to taste and how they are digested? Are there any other differences?

    Can you tell if your duckling is a male or female by listening to their calls?

    My adult ducks and drakes sound completely different so I’m wondering if duckling males and females make different sounds when they’re babies. Most sources on the internet say to wait until they reach adulthood before males and females can be distinguished by the curl in the back of a male's...

    Can you feed your ducks and chicken too many mealworms?

    on the back of the meal worm package it says something like “feed as a treat only” but I’ve been mixing the mealworms with my duckling’s food. I also give them handfuls of mealworms every time I let them swim. Mealworms have a lot of protein so my question is; can you feed your flock too much...

    Can chicks breath through an eruption or a pip hole?

    I had a duckling make a little crack/eruption in the egg but didn't make an actual hole. I waited 10 hours and made a tiny hole for her because I couldn't find anything on the internet that answers this question. Is a pip a hole or when there are cracks in the egg and not the membrane?
