cracked eggs

Looking for advice on what to do. Today I got my shipped hatching eggs after 7 days of transit. Some arrived smashed and the box smelled really bad of course. I cleaned up the ones that weren’t cracked but I’m worried the eggs that survived the trip could have been contaminated by bacteria of...

hello and sorry if this has already been addressed - I couldn't find any other posts addressing this. long story short, I ordered 8 Swedish flowery hen hatching eggs online. today is day 8 of incubation and I decided to candle out of curiosity. Of the 5 eggs that are developing well, two of...

Here I am again looking for sound advice for a mistake I made... I’m officially learning from the hard way. So a few months ago I had a hen that was laying super thin eggs. They were fragile. After several broke various ways I would just chuck them out of frustration/convenience around the...
