Hello all! I'm about to start my chicken raising adventures...again! It's been about 10 years since I've raised birds. All of my incubated eggs that I had at the time came from my own chickens and ducks, so I have no transporting or shipping experience! I was pretty nervous at the idea of...

I am not sure what kind of egg this is. I am thinking pigeon based on the look of it. It's bigger than a dove egg, rounded, and white. We have a LOT of pigeons in this area. I found it lying in the grass outside under an open sky, no trees around at all. I brought it inside and candled it, and...

If anyone has any candling tips or tricks for getting better, less fuzzy pictures in the dark, please let me know! So here is the story of "The Egg." I was working on a fence in the backyard when I noticed this small, white egg on the ground, tucked away in the grass. Coincidentally, my dog...

Two days ago I found an egg in the backyard under a lilac sapling. No nest to be found though I searched high and low for one. There ARE some invasive doves nesting in the neighbor's yard nearby, but their nest is maybe 20 ft away and at least 25 ft into the tree. Anyway I put the egg in an...
