    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...

    Hi y'all! New chicken mama in search of advice! Silly question but my eggs will end up being fertile because I have a rooster. I know it takes 21 days of incubation before hatching but I want to avoid any type of incubation/developing more at all. How do you MAKE SURE that the egg does not...

    What colour eggs will she have?

    I know I won’t know until she lays but thought it might be fun to guess what this backyard mix may lay based on her traits. I have NO idea what the parents are. She has a really big comb and wattles at 16 weeks. And her earlobes look white/bluish… What do YOU think?

    Button quail colours

    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...
