Anytime I crack any egg for eating I always see if it's fertilized. Honestly I do it so much it's a habit with any egg I...

    Looking for fertile eggs!?

    Do you have other eggs incubating? At day 19 most of the egg would be dark and a large air sac on the fat end. With clear definition of the chick pushing and moving around near the air sac line. I'm sorry. Getting hatching egg through the mail this time of year is you chance a very low hatch...

    Looking for fertile eggs!?

    Unfortunately that egg looks like nothing formed. Either wasn't fertile or if anything did form it stopped a few days into incubating.

    No eggs!?

    Are they confined to a run or let out to range? Days are also shorter and colder. Depending on age molting also stops or slows egg production. And breed makes a difference.

    No eggs!?

    If you have enough hungry rats they'll take the eggs day or night. Depending on the severity of the rat population they could be eating your eggs.

    Hen missing feathers

    Looks like you have feather pecking going on. How often do you feed the scratch grain? What brand and what protein percentage is the feed?

    HELP PLEASE

    Mine really like the Kalmbach Henhouse Reserve one. They have a few different flavors. Mine like the original so far. I tried the pumpkin and they didn't seem to care for it. I know they have a Winter Candy Apple that looks new. I haven't tried that one yet. I did try Purina block and absolutely...

    HELP PLEASE

    That's completely understandable, sometimes they have to be kept in. I'd offer them maybe a pecking block to help keep them busy when they have to be locked up. I'm definitely glad I don't live somewhere that gets that much snow.
