    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...

    THE WORLDS SMALLEST CHICKEN EGG?! 🤯

    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...

    Normal or mystical? lol

    I've been getting a few of these skinny "spiral" eggs. I haven't cooked them up yet because I want to know if they're "normal" or if I should save them for my favorite cake recipe. 😅 I hope posting them doesn't butcher the picture quality.. What are your thoughts?

    Should I let my broody hen hatch some eggs?

    Hello, new owner here. I've got my first broody hen, a bantam girl. I'm not sure if I want her to breed yet, since it's still pretty cold outside (-8° c, 17.° Fahrenheit). Can I put her and the eggs inside the house? Or should I let her breed in the coop, the other girls will bother her though...
