    Duck egg pip too smal?!

    My two ducks got picked off by a fox 28 days ago. I had some eggs so I put them in an incubator and one has already pipped! It happened over 12 hours ago and no progress. I would not be worried but the pip is so so so small I am worried that it is not getting any oxygen. Here is a photo and...

    Please Help! Something is Off With One of My Eggs

    I candled this egg today and saw this black spot inside the egg. The embryo is still alive it seems, but none of the other eggs have this dark spot. The embryo is on the other side of the egg in this picture. I would appreciate it if someone could explain what is wrong! Do I need to discard the egg?

    Goop in Coop?

    Does anyone know what this is? I’ve noticed it for 2 days. It resembles egg whites in the nesting box my girls lay in. They are all acting normal, eating and drinking, and laying either everyday or every other day. They haven’t eaten any eggs, not that I’m aware of. I have 4 girls and they all...

    Day 29😰

    The duck has started pipping I believe last night or this morning. He has been trying to break through the membrane for a day. I incubated the egg on April 8th. The breed is one of adult ducks pictured. There are orange/red spots appearing on the egg on the outside as well on the inside. It...

    Sandpaper-Like First Egg

    Hello! We were delighted this morning to find what looks like our first egg. However the shell was incredibly thin, so thin it could easily be crushed if we weren’t careful. The membrane was in tact, but the shell itself felt like sandpaper. We offer free choice oyster shells, have plenty of...

    Small Duck Egg

    Hey yall! Just thought I’d share the tiny egg I got the other day. I have a Khaki Campbell and a Pekin duck and their eggs usually are about the size of the one on the left. Thought this was interesting but I also want to know if I should be concerned! Also Happy Easter everybody!

    Questions about fertile Turkey eggs.

    My ladies have been laying well, and I have around 17 fertile (I’ve seen the Tom mate both of ‘em) eggs. Here’s the thing, it gets down to 40F here at night. Is that cold enough to cause issues for the eggs? One of my hens sat on them one night, but other than that they’ve been on their own. I...

    Quail advise :)

    How much egg is too much in a day? For reference I’m meaning a quail egg not chicken. Is it okay if I were to feed one quail an egg per day or this that far too much? :)

    Incubator not working

    My nurture right 360 is showing all 8’s across both displays and it is not responding to any buttons. This happened when I woke up in the morning time right after a pretty bad storm. The morning I was putting the eggs into lockdown….luckily I had an extra incubator to get the eggs where they...

    Hen eating eggs 🥚

    Hi everyone 👋 I have a hen who is eating my eggs and only my bantam eggs. I can leave all my other eggs in the box no problem, but she can't resist the bantam eggs. I noticed egg yolk in the nesting box a few days ago and today caught the hen in action so I know exactly who it is. She lays...

    Duck Hatching Eggs

    Hello! I am a teacher in Henrico County, VA! I hatch chicks and ducklings every year and my usual duck egg guy is not confident he will have eggs for me. Does anyone near me have duck eggs for hatching available kind of last minute?

    Is this egg fertilized..?

    This morning, I was getting ready to make a goose egg (and chicken egg change) omelet when I saw what I think is a bullseye. I’d like y’all’s opinions on if it is or not. I do hope it’s not, because both of my geese are supposed to be female. I can crack another egg and take better photos if...

    Soft shell egg with yolk and tubular something??

    Long storyline, I apologize. About a month ago one of my hens (black sex link) started closing her eye and it began getting cloudy, no longer laying eggs, and was more lethargic than normal. I was treating the flock with tylosin (just in case) and treating her with that plus terramycin. The...
