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...
Hi everyone! So I have an issue. Yesterday we got a message about someone's eggs that they bought hatching. There were 7 already hatched but one was stuck in the egg. Theyre having some issues. I've hatched chickens before so when I got home I used some steam and warm water to help free the lil...
I have designed a little gadget (hatching rings) to hold an egg in an upright position during lockdown phase of incubation. This comes in handy when you are hatching small or hard to hatch eggs. Especially if you incubated in the upright position for the first phase. I created these while...
I decided to do one final hatch-along for the summer! Hubby was more than supportive of me turning my half of our gaming room into an "incubation station" and there was a deal for 48 eggs for $47, so I decided to jump on it! 🤭 It ended up including purebred Ameraucana and we even got an...
Hi, I'm new to the whole raising chickens thing, and one of my hens has been incubating 8 or 9 eggs for maybe 2 weeks now, but yesterday i found that the little critters that since 4 or 5 days ago have started to appear in her feathers, the eggs and my hands when i check that there are no broken...
Hi! I’m in Delaware USA and new to the world of poultry. My dad had chickens and quail when I was younger, but this is the first time experiencing ducks!
I currently have 2 call and 3 buff duck eggs in the incubator, due to hatch any day now (currently day 24)! 🤞🏼
I love to garden and spend...
Hello all! This is my first post here so hello :)
I currently am in my second year raising chickens, my sister in law actually started first and has helped me learn a few things plus my own research. She has a lot of typical brown egg layers in her cup(ISA Browns, Barred Plymouth Rocks) she...
We have 7 guinea fowl, almost positive there are three hens as that's approximately how many eggs I get from them a day. For a while now, one light cream egg has been appearing very wrinkly and warped, still completely solid and hard. This morning I let everyone out of the coop and one of the...
Hi everyone - long time lurker and finally made an account! I have 8 18-20 week old chickens, who I thought were all hens. Two recently started laying, and when I cracked open the first egg, I noticed the germinal disk looks like it has a ring around it/is fetrtilized based on pictures I’ve...

So I put some eggs to hatch on the 4th. These were the last fertilized eggs from my rooster, and I was hoping to get some of his kids (we had to get rid of him because he was picking on one of our hens.)
Everything seemed well, heartbeats and Development seemed to match. This was day 18.
It is...
I'm not quite sure where to post this but I thought I'd try here.
So, I just started doing a self-serve farm stand at the end of our driveway using the honesty system. Long story short I left some eggs out there overnight and we had a strong thunderstorm roll through and the wind blew the heavy...
So I had three eggs one went bad the other two I weighed in today lost a gram each, is this within daily weight loss for emu eggs?
Egg 1 was 311g egg 2 was 446g initially before incubating.
Now day three egg 1 is 310g
Egg 2 is 445g
I did calculations according to emu farmers handbook and the...
So I recently bought a hovabator 3270 and an incutherm pro therm/hydrometer and doing all the research before I start hatching as I’ll be doing emu eggs and want the most accurate readings possible..
I saw the salt test with hydrometers, still confused..
What reading am I supposed to be using...
