    What’s happening to some of my eggs?

    That’s the adjective I needed...mottled. I couldn’t get that link to show me a full page so o will search it separately and see. I am in South Georgia so it is humid, but I started seeing this back during our winter. Thank you so much.

    What’s happening to some of my eggs?

    Several, different breeds, of my eggs have started looking like they are spotted in some way. If you can zoom in on the picture, let me know what is going on.

    Comment by 'YardBird192' in article 'Interesting Facts About Chicken Eggs'

    All newcomers to this love of poultry should read. Great article with lots of wonderful points. The most frequent point I have heard SO many people say is that they believe that a rooster is necessary to have eggs.

    12 Araucana Hatching Eggs - NPIP CA

    Hello all. I am sure I was confused at some point in the past to be on that thread. I received an email message in reference to one of the above posts about selling eggs. I have been so busy that I haven't even been on BYC website in over a year. When posting in the past, it was a general...

    Ease help asap

    What was your outcome?? To answer a question earlier...if we put them in at 4:30 pm one day, we count 21 days from then and expect them after 4:30 that 21st day. Today, Feb 1st, is suppose to be our hatch day at 4:30. Out of the ten, one pipped last night and have four more this am. Lots of...

    Ease help asap

    We have a brinsea incubator and it doesn't leave much room for them to stand once they start moving well so as ours each got fluffy, we took them and shell remains out. Their new location was toasty and ready first. We've only hatched three sets of 15 and have a set on lockdown starting tomorrow...

    How does broody raised chick drink?

    We have used the incubator for our previous hatches, but we had a hen who went broody so we put five eggs under her and expect something December 11th. She is nesting in the coop about four feet off the floor. I guess I'll learn from trial and error, but I don't want the babies to fall out and...

    Extremely graphic.. Do not view then complain.. Predator reality

    Raccoon. Get a trap of your choice set. It WILL be back and will eat until the plate is clean or you take it out first. Our experience with 24 ducks and 58 chickens has been that an opossum will leave wings, head, and feet. A raccoon got seven hens and one rooster before we finally found a...

    EMERGENCY - Duckling is gagging and in distress!

    I know you are so relieved. It's no fun feeling helpless. I love this website because it keeps you from feeling that way. It's nice to know we all can learn from the experiences of others. Respiratory infection...didn't even cross my mind for one so small. Hope it's going to be just fine.

    Is my Muscovy duck a male?

    Usually the male makes a raspy, growl kinda sound like he is having breathing issues and the females will quack.

    Is my Muscovy duck a male?

    If I read correctly and you only have three ducks, you have three females. They will give you one egg a day...most days.

    RAN OUT OF CHICKE FEED!! HELP PLEASE!:)

    Random thoughts...I would probably boil a couple of eggs and mash them well and put in a separate dish. Mine have never cared for it when they were that young. Mealworms...they will fight over. Crushed dry cat food maybe. Putting a grain cereal like corn flakes in a ziplock and crush them...

    New chicks arrive next week! Sand or pine shavings as bedding?

    After our first experience with chicks, we bought a large rabbit cage from tractor supply for all our new babies as they came. It is their home inside for two weeks while we give them frequent care, watch for problems, and give them time to know us. For the first few days, I put a small pile...

    12 Araucana Hatching Eggs - NPIP CA

    I know you'll think I'm crazy, but I have a hard time taking money from people, even though they offer. So far, I've just been giving them to family and those I run into who need some. With 12 female ducks and 46 hens, we keep a refrigerator full.
