    How do I stop chickens are breaking n eating their own egg?

    I'm currently having this problem with one of mine. Been finding less eggs overall. I'm quite certain of the culprit, because for nearly the third time, she has had a bunch of yolk stuck on her messy white face! She is also probably eating her own egg right after she lays it. I think she has...

    Rooster Crowling - How To Manage?

    I have a 1 year old rooster that frequently crows, any time of the day, almost every hour it seems. Never counted but it's gotta' be around 15 to 35 times a day. He crows inside the coop or when he is free-roaming. He is with 9 other hens, all day long. Maybe he is "happy and singing" because he...

  5. My candler: 5W (approx. 450 lumens) LED torch. Uses a 3.7v 4000mAh 18650 battery. (Extended with a tube to reduce heat emitted by the source). It lights up the egg very well, with near-zero light bleed.

    Review by '' on item '1 Gallon Poultry Waterer'

    I don't care much at all for those ground waterers/feeders. It's a "quick and cheap" design. Even though that's the natural way birds feed (ground level), it's still just not good(clean) enough if your raising chicks. I mean, seriously though, if your going to raise chicks(or any living thing)...

    Yup, that's what I figured too. But, for a moment or two, I thought I was like an egg-psychic or something, LOL!

    I'm actually the thermostat for the time being, lol. I'm around quite often monitoring temps and regulating them if needed (raising/lowering light). It rarely needs adjustment anymore. Though it took several hours to calibrate the distance(from lamp to container) in order to stabilize heat...

    I rotate them each by hand (as quick as I can without losing heat and humidity)... I lost several already:( but for my very first time I had overall fair success. I'm not fully finished with it, so it will be improved bit by bit.

    Special pip'n chick with natural artistic talent!

    This one must have noticed the star that I drew on the shell(to predict where it would begin to crack/pip). It managed to pip a star pattern with a triangle shaped chip broke off in the center. lol I think it is a special one! (notice the shadow of the pipping chick inside) This egg came...

    Eggtopsy: What happened to my egg? {Graphic Pictures}

    An old thread, I know.. but, just thought I'd post a pic of my first 'bad egg'. Well, not so much a bad egg, but likely an unfortunate placement of the egg by the overwhelmed broody hen. The hen(which died about 30 days after brooding, not sure why it actually died..) was brooding on so many...
