    What colour is my marans pullet??

    Hi all, I got given a little cross beak chick for free about 6 months ago. The breeder initially wasn’t sure what she was as she was in the pekin pen, but suspected she may actually be a marans. Fast forward to now and she’s definitely a marans, I just would love to know what her colour is...

    Cracked Egg! Help!!

    I was checking my duck’s eggs as I do every night - candling them to see the growth. I picked one up and my thumb put a hole into it! I know I didn’t grab it hard so I think the eggshell was weak there or already a bit cracked. The embryo is still alive and moving. Saran wrapped the egg and...

    Is this a blood ring? (Quail eggs)

    Hi. This is my first time incubating eggs. I am using a cheap chinese incubator, and thus the temps are not very uniform and I expect the mortality rate to be quite high. I am wondering, is this a blood ring? Should I discard this egg?

    Small eggs - whyyyyy???

    OK I’m not talking fairy eggs- but all of my ducks eggs seem to be getting smaller and smaller. Will not seem to be… They are. They’re the size of my chicken eggs and sometimes smaller. What could be the reason for this? They are not new layers. Their eggs are fertile and vine as I just hatched...

    Is this Duck egg fertile??

    I do not believe this egg is fertile but curious on other opinions? Do not have much experience with telling if they are as I never needed to know. Last year we did look into it just out of curiosity and you could very easily tell that the eggs we were collecting were fertile. What are your...

    Are our chicks too young for outside?

    Not sure if this is the right place but it's the best I could find. We have around 20 or so chicks(around 2 months old) inside the house divided into 3 large totes but they're getting too big for them, plus we don't have any more room in the house. We also have around year old hens and roosters...

    Not sure why my chickens & ducks aren't laying?

    This has been an ongoing issue. My 3 chickens have been unreliable with laying for months, sometimes almost going a week without one. Since spring has started to return, we've started to see about 1-2 eggs a day now. I have 3 new adult laying muscovy ducks. They arrived 2 weeks ago. So far...

    Lord’s Willing, how much pip before the zip?

    Hey friends! PRAISE THE LORD, we have an external pip on our Cayuga duck egg!!! 😊😊 I’ve read over the sticky thread on the topic, but I couldn’t find (or maybe overlooked) a general timeframe between the external pip to when they start to zip... I did see on the thread that they pip and then...

    Ok, so I was going out to put my chickens away tonight and it was just barely bright enough to see and I was collecting eggs and when I was feeling around felt something super small, hard, and round, at first I could not believe my eyes and thought I was hallucinating or something but no! When I...

    When is it humane to euthanise unwanted eggs?

    Hi there, I’m hatching a few Muscovy Eggs. Currently have 6 going but I’ll only need about 4, I’ve been wondering to what point it is humane that I dispose of any extra unwanted eggs if too many develop? I read it’s up until 80% of growth, on what day of incubation will they be 80%? I would hate...

    EDIT: Thank you all for your responses! I didn’t really know how controversial this would be, but I’m glad to hear your opinions. I understand all your concerns and I will not go ahead because I can see the overwhelming opinion is that they might not be happy. If anyone does have suggestions for...
