Hi, I've thrown out 10 blue/black eggs from my welsh harlequins HUGE clutch (think she's sitting on everyone's eggs). I'm nervous to go in and start moving things around, but thinking I might need to take everything out, clean the coop and replace. We are 20 days in.
I've finally started going in there and candling some, but I don't want to move them too much. A lot seem gross and dead. Like blue and the light doesn't shine through. Should I take them all out and clean the coop then put em back?
Hi!! My welsh harlequin has been sitting on a huuuge clutch since around 6/5/2021, every once in a while my khaki Campbell will join her, but rarely stays longer than a couple hours. Upon candling the eggs they seemed to be at different stages of development. I have 2 other girls a pekin and...
My potbelly is about 10 months old. I got her in December. She is my only pig and I live in a suburban neighborhood so my neighbors definitely don't have any pigs. She is lactating! What is going on?

First pic is of them all cleaned up
2nd pic is right after...

Hi all! My ducks have started staying in the coop for hours after I open the door in the morning. Basically until I chase them out. This am i opened the door at 8 and stayed in until 11 when I chased them out. They have started doing this the last week or so. Weird?
