    Abnormality on fertilized egg shell

    Good evening everyone, I have a few duck eggs that are on the verge of hatching. I just put them into lockdown and while taking out the turner, I noticed one of the eggs has weird squiggly shadows on the shell.

    Curious about my chick's breed

    Hello everyone, My chicks are turning 6 weeks old tomorrow and I'm curious if anyone is able to determine what breed they are. We got 4 chicks in total from tsc. Two of them are buff orpingtons but I'm unsure what the other two are. I'd love to hear some ideas. Thanks!
