    Hatching Supermarket Eggs

    Hello, I have been looking to incubate some supermarket eggs out of curiosity to see what would happen. Obviously, conventional egg brands almost always cull males. So I was wondering if there were certain brands like for example, Vital Farms which pasture raise chickens and have chances of...

    Are eggs left in coop a couple days safe to eat?

    Basically what the title says. Husband and I went away for the weekend, and my teens didn't do a great job looking in the coop for eggs. I have 5 ducks, 1 drake and a goose. I went out and found 10 duck eggs and a goose egg that I know what from the night before. I live in Western Washington...

    Are these eggs developing?

    I am on day 14 of my first incubator hatch, and I am almost sure these eggs aren't developing, but they keep getting darker and the dark areas are growing (rotting?) but they don't smell, and look almost cloudy inside...? So, I would really appreciate some input! :) Here are a few pictures of...

    Stuff to Put Inside Nesting Boxes? They Keep Pushing the Bedding Out :(

    Hi! We've been having a rather annoying issue with our girls. I keep putting wood shavings inside the coop and nesting boxes, and they keep moving the wood shavings out of the nesting boxes so they are bare. Is there something else I should be using in the nesting boxes? At this point I'm not...

    ISO: BANTAMS! Bantam Rainbow Eggers (Blue, Green, Pink)!

    Hi, All! I did find Bantam Easter Egger chicks online, but they don't do as well with shipping as regular sized chicks, apparently, because I keep losing the ones I got day by day despite giving them more heat than is required and despite they are eating and drinking fine (included in their...

    Serama hatching issues

    Hello everyone! A while ago I found 2 broody seramas sat on 3 eggs, candled all of them and they all seemed to be fertile. I don't know how long they were sat on them, but 1 has hatched just yesterday and seems to be healthy. The other 2 haven't shown any signs of external or internal pipping. I...

    Will this end in egg eating

    Hi everyone, Thanks for reading my thread. I have a 5 year old hen, a maran cross. For the first 4 years she laid 4 or 5 a week, a good and happy hen. Last year her eggs, suddenly, changed from 75g to 110g with dreadfully thin shells. I separated her and gave her antibiotics, monitored her food...

    Too many eggs! Suggestions?

    We inherited a dozen chickens and a rooster when we bought our house18 month ago. We were excited at first to have the eggs but it’s getting out of hand. They’re great layers and we typically get 8-10 eggs every day. We’re a family of four but my daughter is sick of eggs and refuses to eat them...

    6 month old Pullet stopped laying

    Hello all! I know questions like this are pretty common but I still wanted to ask in my own way. I have 6 pullets. 2 EEs I bought in March, other 4 (OE and 3 Marans) were bought in late May. They were separate until late September when I managed to integrate them successfully. Up until that...

    Eggs and the govt. shutdown

    I know I said the word government in the title (well abbreviated it anyway) but this is not at all meant to be a political thread. I don't care how we got here or whose fault it is, it doesn't matter. That out of the way, as some of you probably have seen there is a very good chance that SNAP...

    New to chickens

    We got eight Cream Legbars in Feb 2025 at 3-days old. We love them, and as I am retired they are a big part of my sanity. I researched a lot and then built a decent coop and run, and the ladies seem happy in there. Six boxes for eight birds and I use one for in-coop food and water. We're rural...

    Hello from Central Florida

    About 25 years ago I had about 10 chickens that would free range and coop at night. We had a few disappear in the night and we gave the rest to a neighbor. Since then, I have been on the retail side of chickens and farm animals and recommending everyone check out BYC for all of their chicken...

    Multiple pigeon nests laying three eggs- what's going on??

    Heya all! Basically, recently, around three different pairs of my pigeons are laying three eggs. At first I though it was a bird nest stealing or laying an extra egg in already made nests, but from the single time I've let all three hatch- (I usually remove every egg that's laid regardless but...

    Hen with cancer started laying again ??

    Hi all, My 5 y/o Buff Cochin was 'diagnosed' with carcinomatosis as some might already know. I posted a lot about this 2-3 years ago when she first got the diagnoses, thinking she was going to pass. The vet gave her a suprelorin implant and an expected few months to live. Its been a handful of...
