    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...

    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...

    Muscovy drake trying to mate with the broody female duck while it is sitting on the eggs?!!

    Hello, I searched a lot about this problem before deciding to post, and I didn't find anyone talking about it. I have two muscovy drakes and two female muscovy ducks, and I know that is a very low ratio, but I couldn't buy more than two at that time because of the price, and I am planning to buy...

    Best Treatment Details for Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Hey guys, I'm really hoping to find some detailed advice for this... A few weeks ago, my 2 year old ISA brown rescue hen, named Valentina, started showing signs of being unwell. She was lethargic, diarrhea, with a funny posture (tail up, but legs not in typical wide-stance position), but was...

    Day 16 - Is this dot concerning?

    I candle the eggs on the daily and just noticed this little funny looking shape in one of my more developed eggs. (It's the little liver-shaped thingy between the dark sides) Is this bad? I'm kinda new to incubating by myself 😥

    Heat Reactive Color Changing Egg??

    Today, in the wonderful world of, 'What The Heck???' I present to you an egg I just brought in from our coop to our kitchen. It looked like a really pale greenish-blue, but when I went to put it down, I saw where my fingers had been on it were now a lighter blue, which threw me a bit! Have you...
