egg

So I have a constant Muskovy duck laying eggs in my yard… They always all hatch and unfortunately due to where I live they always end up getting eaten by predators. My girlfriend has a single Muskovy duck that laid eggs back in April however none of them hatched and she keeps laying on the nest...

Hi, I'm new to breeding button quail and this is my first hatch. I got a 50% hatch rate from posted eggs so I'm not too dissapointed. Babies are now 3 weeks old. Would love some help identifying colours. Plus I can only really identify 2 being hens as they're the wild variety. I can wait to...

Heya everyone. My quail layed a pure white egg today and thought i would show it off. Her usual eggs are patterned with purple patches which i always found beautiful but this was beautiful too in its own way. :)

First time chicken mama… This gal is 14 weeks backyard mix and this week her face has started to turn red! Is she starting to get ready for egg laying?

Hi everyone, It’s our first time raising chickens and we got our first egg today! Yay! Dottie laid a beautiful green egg (left in attached pic - the light brown egg is fake). We have nine other pullets that will probably start laying within the next month. I’d like to put some sort of egg...

Cracked one of our newest pullets egg this morning. The egg had two yolks. The one on the left appeared normal but the one on the right had a different appearance I’ve never seen before. Any ideas? Is it safe to eat? She has only been laying for maybe two weeks.

I've raised pigeons from hatchlings before and have been wanting to hatch out two or three more to keep as pets. but I have looked everywhere and cannot find anywhere i can get fertile eggs. i have everything ready (incubator, feeding stuff, heat) except the actual eggs themselves. i live in...

While collecting eggs, I found this egg that has a weird abundance of bug egg(?) looking stuff on it. The egg was rotten anyways so I didn’t mind throwing it away but it was pretty gross. Just out of curiosity, anyone know what it is? Image below (it’s kinda nasty)

Hey all! So this is my first year owning a rooster, and I know I have a ways off before I’ll start seeing any baby chicks around, however I would love if someone could explain the process? So my silly question is, when a roo mates with a hen, does the hen lay all fertilized eggs at once? Or 1...

I got a shock when I cracked it open.. Has it just gone bad? Why is it so red? It doesn't smell bad btw Edit: I just realized that it's most likely a half developed chick 🤦🏻‍♀️

So our chickens have only been laying eggs since May 23rd and only 4 of our hens are laying so far but today we got a double egg? I went to crack and cook a very large egg that my wife was sure was our first double yolk. I was very surprised to find another whole egg shell in the egg! Is this...

Just gathered a very tiny egg from the quail cage! Anyone else have any experience with this? Ive never seen one like this before and am very curious. What should I do with it? Im wondering if it is possible to hatch something like this??? Probably not, but love the idea of a very tiny quail...

i recently made a post about a duck egg i found on uc davis campus. so i have been incubating the egg for 7 days now, a week, and based on duck egg incubation progression charts i’ve seen there should be some noticeable veins by now. i cant really see anything, the egg looks like this when...

So I checked my girls eggs yesterday and found this. Anyone understand how this happens, Looks crazy with that almost perfect line cut all the way around it. Thanks

I have a hen that's had some trouble with laying eggs lately. Today I went to check on them since it's been raining & give them some mash. She was up on a perch by herself with her wings dropped (touching the branch). She is a weird one who will lay ANYWHERE! So I took a second to see if I...

I found a mystery egg on UC Davis campus, I’m fairly sure it’s a duck egg. I was recently at the UC Davis campus because my class was going on a camping trip and we stopped at a park/garden area for lunch on the campus. I noticed a lot of smashed and crushed white eggs along the paths in this...

Hi everyone. One of my Golden Comets has been laying some strange eggs lately. She often lays ones with bumps (calcium deposits) and I don't really mind. I still eat them. But lately, she has laid a few with these strange holes/divets in them, and I don't know what this is. I tried searching...

Posting this again on injuries forum😊 Hello! I have a hen who has been laying soft shelled eggs for awhile now, but since recent she has been laying them everyday. What I notice is, that she is fine in the morning once I let the flock out, but when evening comes, she slows down...she goes to...

This is day 4 of broody duck Tater Tot and maybe broody duck Feather Locklear. I went to go mark her eggs this morning bc she has not been off of her nest only to find NO eggs!! There were 5 or 6 eggs that I could see on day 1 & 2, I'm sure she had more buried. I am baffled. I feel bad bc I did...

Hello! I have a hen who has been laying soft shelled eggs for awhile now, but since recent she has been laying them everyday. What I notice is, that she is fine in the morning once I let the flock out, but when evening comes, she slows down...she goes to bed, then passes the egg. The next...
