What I am used to seeing is a ring &spot in a CHICKEN yolk where the blastoderm spot is more bullseye(a light ring with a center spot) BUT ... My ducks are young and these were the first two eggs laid. There isn't much of a larger ring on the blastoderm that I can see but there are small white...

Hi all! After my chickens moulted many just kept loosing feathers. I don't see mites but I suspect them. I'm on an extremely tight budget so cant afford commercial sprays right now. I found a recipe online for garlic spray. It has some oil and essential oils and cinnamon in it but it is...

My turkey eggs are maybe about day 16 as I can see. They are from a first year new Turkey couple. I noticed the first eggs to this young hen the first poult was huge and healthy poults 1-5 were big and strong poults 6&7 were runts but healthy. They are already in an outdoor outdoor area. So...

Rooster issues, ugh! Decided to use adult Rooster instead of buying chicks this year. Our red rooster is a bit wonky but he is full adult, will fight you and topped every hen we had over the course of two weeks, we usually keep him separate. 14 days later we put him back by himself. He's not...

Hi everyone! I've incubated a small batch of bought eggs laid the same day before, but we recently acquired a rooster. So this spring I decided to let the rooster into the hen area to breed. I keep him separate because eating fertile eggs isn't very appetising to my husband. Now, the rooster...

Hello all! I've had chickens for almost a decade, mostly Easter eggers and a few Jersey giants and one Island Red rooster that's a bit slow in the head(it seems). Usually I just buy live chicks to refresh the DNA pool but I had some experience in the past at incubating but not much. Hopefully I...
