    Is there a such thing as “too much candling”

    Is there a such thing as candling too often? We are have some eggs incubating and we are on day 6. Just want to know if there’s a such thing as candling too often? I know that you don’t notice a huge difference within a day, but didn’t know if it “hurts” anything to candle more than just once or...

    Is this the ring of death?

    This egg has been consistently growing since the beginning but has this bullseye type of shape when candling. It’s day 22, they’ve been on lockdown since day 18. No pipping from any of the eggs yet but this is the only one that looks this. It seems to have gotten more pronounced since...

    Choose an egg Hatch-a-long

    Time for an other hatch a long. I set 41 eggs this evening. Feel free to chose an or to egg and name it. The eggs are from our flock. I’m not sure what breeds they are. 36 and 37 are OEGB. I think the green eggs are from our starlight green Egger.

    Is there anything wrong with this chicken egg?

    How long can eggs be kept before incubating?

    I have a situation where I need about 10-14 eggs for the beginning of March. I have 8 hens, but I only want eggs from 2-4 specific hens (I can tell their eggs apart). There is one however that I want the majority of eggs from. Problem is she has only layed 3 eggs so far. One on the 14th, one on...

    Possible blood ring

    Hi, so I want to preface by saying that I'm not normally a chicky person. A friend brought over farm fresh eggs but when I was making my breakfast yesterday one of the eggs was too fresh if you know what I mean. I felt really bad about killing an egg that had a viable embryo in it and so I...

    Candling eggs- what does it mean when an egg is yellow vs red inside?

    I candled some eggs from the same batch and the same flashlight, two bantam eggs were different colors inside. One was red and one was yellow inside when I candled them. They were refrigerated so they probably aren't very good for hatching but I'm curious why the two eggs are different colors...

    I have 9 chicken eggs in my incubator right now. They were just put in maybe four hours ago. I am seeking advice on how to increase my hatch rate as this incubator isn’t the greatest one out there. 1: I heard that you shouldn’t turn the eggs in the first 24 hours. Is this true? 2: My...
