    Bloom Rubbing off Eggs in the Incubator

    I have heavy bloom brown eggs that are having the bloom stripped by the rubber mat in the bottom of the incubator. The eggs are not set to hatch for another 18 days, should I remove the rubber mat until lockdown so that more bloom is not removed or is this ultimately not going to impact the eggs?

    Did Herbicides Impact my Hatch Rate?

    Favorite Breed of Rooster?

I chose a WTB rooster for the fun factor of producing colored laying offspring while not compromising on egg production. I live in rural Idaho where my birds free range, so this rooster seemed like...

    WHAT IS THIS?

    I’ve had chickens for two years now and have been so fortunate not to have any illnesses or injuries thus far. I noticed my black Australorp sitting in the nesting box late in the evening and expected an egg the next morning. No egg, but she was back in the box the following day, never leaving...

    WTB Hen Laying CREAM eggs?

    In March of 2024 I received two Whiting True Blue chicks, a female and a male in my order from McMurray Hatchery. I had purchased these two with the hopes of creating my own little flock of WTB to add to my backyard. However, my hen does not lay blue eggs, she lays a light tan egg with a heavy...
