One of my ducks has gone broody on a nest containing both chicken and duck eggs. This hasn't happened before at my house. What can I expect? I know they hatch at different times. I suppose St. Patty's is the first day we can expect chicks. As an added problem, my chicken eggs are usually mostly...
We have 6 ringneck pheasants, 3 male, 3 female that we hatched late spring last year. One of the females just started laying eggs (yay!) and I think we'd like to save and incubate some, but I'm not educated enough. I'm in central Alberta so though we've had a warm week above 0, it drops below 0...
These are not for eating
Should still be hatchable, but I already have a clutch in my incubator
Some of my hens decided to lay eggs in some tall grass. If anyone in the Sarasota county area wants some free eggs I can deliver to public locations in the Venice/nokomis/osprey area
My flock is a...
Hey everyone,
My ducks have laid their first eggs!
I am wondering now about the dos and don’ts of collecting eggs.
With it being winter, when I collect them in the morning they’re pretty cold. Does it that mean they need to go inside the fridge right away? What should I do when it gets...
In the global field of poultry farming, turkey farming holds a unique and important position. For many people, turkeys are not only delicious dishes on the table but also an essential part of cultural traditions and economic industries. From being the iconic dish of Thanksgiving to the booming...
So I've been candling my eggs, I have both chicken and duck eggs in my incubator. The past few days I've noticed 2 of my duck eggs have 2 separate dark spots that are moving in different directions, this is a first for me. I'm quite worried that they might be twins as the eggs aren't that big to...
My chicken egg started having these strange external bumps. They are teeny tiny clusters, which I think of is a wart. And then I have one hand that her egg has this spot like I’m showing here sometimes much much worse which I don’t eat the egg when it looks like that. Any ideas of what could be...
So, while Latias is stuck inside, the rest of the flock seems to be doing alright. In fact, today, Miss Snow (also known as Snowball Jr. as named by my daughter) the Leghorn has laid her first egg! Which is also the first egg of the year for us.
In short, hopefully the others will be laying...
Anyone else shaking their heads and rolling their eyes as people say “you are so lucky you get free eggs” as the price of eggs is rising. If I add up what I have spent on their coop, bedding, food, treats, and medicines, not to mention time and energy, I suspect my eggs cost way more than the...
Hi,
I am thinking of starting a small free range egg farm alongside my job. I am based in the UK. I know a fair bit about farming, having spent my school days working on a livestock farm, but would greatly appreciate tips on things like:
Breed
Egg washing
Egg stamping
Egg boxes
Egg prices
Feed...
Good morning all, we are looking for fertile Easter Egger hatching eggs near Midlothian, Texas 76065. Anybody have any recommendations?? Thank you for your responses!
Hello! I am in search of Button Quail in Saskatchewan. I live in Saskatoon but I'm more than willing to meet elsewhere. I am most interested in young chicks or hatching eggs, but would consider adults too!
So, I think I know who is laying the speckled eggs, but online searches are making me question myself.
I know it’s not my Silver Leghorn - hers are white.
I know it’s not my Ancona - hers are white.
I know it’s not my Blue Ameracaunas - theirs are blue/green.
I don’t think it’s my Golden...
Went to grab eggs tonight and found this cracked egg. Obviously it isn’t cracked all the way but I’m on edge a bit because i know that when an egg cracks inside a chicken it isn’t a good sign… I wanted to know if you think my girl who laid this will be okay and what can I give them to prevent...
