    9 month old duck never has laid any eggs

    HELP! I’ve had one of my ducks for nine months and one week. She is very active and fun but the problem is she has never laid an egg that I’m aware of. Please help. I have fake eggs in the coop to help her get going, extra calcium in feed, and one of the other girls I’ve had for over a year lays...

    Hi all, I am so lost on what to do about my girls. I have two females that in the first year laid eggs daily but after that they stopped completely. They both stopped around the same time, December of 2021. Since it was winter, I thought nothing of it but almost 2 years later and they still...

    Egg bound or sick or something else?

    One of my buff orpingtons is acting weird today. Her tail is down and it seems like she’s shuffling around to walk, not going super far, and laying down every chance she can. When she is laying it seems like she’s trying to squeeze something out so I’m thinking she may be egg bound, however she...

    Did I kill my eggs?

    Hi y'all. I am unsure if I killed my eggs trying to save the ones that hatched. This is my first time incubating eggs. I Bought the Natures Right 360, but got ripped off and it never came. I had to buy a still air tractor supply incubator because my fertile eggs arrived and I had nothing to...

    My polish chicken is almost one and she hasn't laid an egg?

    Our beloved (sort of psychotic--ha!) Polish hen, Pierogi, is almost one year old and hasn't laid a single egg. Our other ladies, born the same day, have been laying for months now. Pierogi has rooster tendencies (a bit aggressive, will try and attack anything that comes near the coop) but is...

    Day 5/6 slow developer

    help!! Day 6 or 7 and this little “girl” is really slow. Didn’t see any signs it was a good egg until day 4 and it was very faint veins. I have what looks like a blood ring in the side. You can see a little heart flutter when looking very closely. Is this viable?

    strange oval egg

    does this white X in the yolk mean anything or am i reading to far into it? it’s the cracked egg (i cracked it obviously). I also added a pic of a normal egg from another hen that’s the same breed. There are two that lay eggs and 3 hens that haven’t laid yet. is this an egg from a maturing female?

    Hen laid deformed egg!

    Hi everyone, I’m a bit alarmed because this morning my leghorn hen laid an egg but it seemed to be missing some shell. In the past few weeks she has also laid eggs which looked a little cracked but I thought it was because I might’ve accidentally bumped them or something. She gets a diet of...

    Is this a chicken egg??

    So, I have both chickens and ducks and they are all allowed to free range the property. My chickens have been laying now for a couple months, while my ducks have not yet started (I don’t think they have at least). They each have their own, separate coops and pens, but because they free range...

    Relocating my duck's egg to her "new" nest. Should I do it?

    I have two muscovy ducks. The female laid her first egg last Friday. She chose one of the holes she made on the ground as her nest. Last morning and earlier this morning, however, she laid another 2 eggs in the duck house, which means she has two different nests in two different locations. I'm...
