    Culprit identified! Eggers McNugget is not in distress because there is something wrong with her coop...just something with her butt.

    Duck in “labor” when laying egg

    My silver appleyards have just started laying and one of them, Vidia, is odd. The day before she laid her first egg we noticed her butt was “heavy” (that’s what we call it - you can see their butt looks a little heavier, and since these guys have a bulldog stance it’s very noticeable). During...

    Strange brown and white circles on yolk!?!

    I know yolks have white dots to show fertility but a couple of our recent eggs have multiple spots on them and they seem surrounded by dark orange and white? I can’t find ANYTHING online about this and it’s turning me off of my eggs 😂 Someone please help!

    Pekin female laid first egg. Need nutritional advice

    Hello all. So Daphne (pictured) is just over 6 months old and laid her first egg (pictured) this morning (it seems a little small but I think this may be normal for the first egg(s)). I knew it was coming as she has been sleeping in the coop in the same spot and making her little nest in the...

    [Solved] I turned a cracked hatching egg

    One of our hens stopped brooding a couple of eggs for seemingly no reason so we took them in to a makeshift incubator. Thing is that we aren't sure when they were laid, so we've just been turning them every day. One of the eggs that ended up getting cracked (and repaired with candle wax) has...

    Eggs Disappearing?

    Hi all. I have a flock of 5 chickens. (1 roo and 4 hens.) 2 of my girls are laying and I make sure to collect their eggs late in the morning to make sure the eggs don’t get dirty or cracked. Yesterday, only my Orpington laid. (Or so I thought) Today when I walked by the coop I glanced at my...

    First egg

    One of my two ducks laid her first egg today. I won't have believed it was from a duck because of how small it was. But my husband saw the whole thing. Said she tried to lay it in the duck pool. That it popped out just as she jumped in. It was a soft shell but we're getting them oyster shells...

    Same Crack in every egg

    We have had the exact same crack in the exact spot of what I believe is our Cayuga’s egg for 3 consecutive days now. What could be causing this?

    White stuff on egg shell

    All of my chickens just started laying their eggs. Today one of the eggs had some white stuff on it. Wonder what it is. Was thinking maybe a little crack on the egg made egg white come out or something? All insights are welcome. Hope anyone reading this is having a good day with their own flock...

    Found some eggs…

    Our chickens have been climbing over our gate and laying eggs in the weeds a few feet from their pen… I would just toss them out but we found a ton, is there any way to tell if they are good or not?

    Day 4 candling- floating mass?

    I was candling my Pekin duck eggs on their 4th day. They all looked amazing with veins and a healthy shell, but I saw a floating mass in two of them, that floater to the top no matter where I turned it. What is it?

    Healthy duck, mysterious death.

    Hello everyone, This morning I woke up & saw one of my ducks laying in the backyard. I instantly knew she was dead, just by the way she was laying. 😞 Initially I thought an owl or hawk got her. There's no way a racoon, opossum or fox got past my dogs. But upon inspection, there was no blood...
