I was asked by a friend to help hatch a batch of eggs from his coop, his eggs are not collected every day and they are covered with dry poop by the time they are collected. can a dirty egg be hatched in an incubator? And how old can it be before it's too late to place in an incubator?
My name is Leslie I live in Mariners Harbor, staten Island N.Y. With my husband and Daughter. We have 15 hens of mixed breeds and sizes. We would like to keep two ducks as well for eggs and do not know what breeds are best for children in an urban backyard.
