    Porous? Calcium?

    I was going to try to incubate and sell hatching eggs and chicks. But why are they so porous? Is that what those spots are? I offer oyster shell, I feed henhouse reserve the purple one, and 17% layer crumble both from Kalmbach and 5 grain scratch every other day (even days) and worms on...

    Weird egg

    I was candling eggs to prepare for sales and this was super dark spots so I cracked it. The yolk and whites were normal but the yolk broke and was stuck to this part of the shell that had red spots. What’s up with this? Do I need treatment? Danger for other eggs?

    Duck sick?

    What’s wrong with my duck. Unusual poo too. He looks really good, smooth clean feathers, wouldn’t be able to tell anything wrong. I caught him because he had a string caught on his leg that was cutting into him. I’m sad I didn’t catch it sooner, but it was so hard to see and I’m often out...

    Hatching Transported Eggs
