Hello!! I received an order of hatching eggs via the mail. I hatch a lot of my own birds, and have hatched some shipped eggs as well, so I’m pretty familiar with candling, checking for detached air cells, etc. After receiving this batch of eggs, I candled them and noticed “something” inside 1...

Hey all. I need help with my Roosters eye. It’s infected. The swollen area is soft and squishy, not hard. It doesn’t appear there’s any sort of hard puss ball deep inside. He is not sneezing, and has no symptoms of any respiratory illness, and none of his flock mates have any respiratory...
