    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...

    Chicken taking to long to lay an egg?

    These two days my chicken goes to the same spot she lays her eggs and stays there for almost two hours. I noticed that At times when I get close to her she fluffs up her feathers and raises her tale/the back part. I’m not sure if she laid an egg yesterday since there was 2 from the days before...

    How to avoid a fertilized egg from incubating/hatching

    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...

    What kind of egg holder do you use?

    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...

    Odd Yolk?

    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.

    Weird stuff on my egg

    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)

    Can someone explain the process?

    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...

    What is going on with this egg?

    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 🤦🏻‍♀️
