Hey y’all! We have been blessed with chickens for years, and ducks on and off, but I have never actually SOLD the eggs! Given them away lots, but never sold.
So, I’m trying to see what prices typically are.. I want to be fair and not charge absurd amounts, but also make it worth it, if...
Hello everybody!
I'm about to start my second incubator journey. Last year, I managed to have a ~90% success rate with my bator, of combined duck and chicken eggs. First time was rather lucky as far as the incubating went. Back then, I had more time on my hands since I did it on a school break...
I'm so excited! I've been waiting for this for weeks I finally have some embryos! After losing 17 eggs to a malfunctioning incubator I was really sad that I might not get ducklings this year. I decided to let nature handle the rest of the eggs I had gathered and let my broody duck hens incubate...
Guys I’m back again with questions about Cheese and her weird nesting habits. So she currently is sitting on her nest at night and in the early mornings and afternoons and is off during midday when it’s the hottest. However I went out tonight and noticed she wasn’t sitting fully on all of the...
Hi, I really need some advice!
My chickens eggs are currently on day 13, and I just checked my incubator and saw the temperature is at 22c and 56 humidity. I last checked my eggs 12/16hrs ago and the temperature was at 37.6 and humidity 45. So, my eggs could have been sat in 22c temperature...
Hi there! I just got fertile silkie eggs and I am so excited for it!! I will be bringing y'all through my journey of hatching these beautiful eggs!
I would really appreciate some name suggestions!!
I will edit this post with great name ideas for a certain egg.
These are temporary. If you have...
I have got 7 Barred Rock hens and 3 Barred Rock roosters. They are around 1 year old. I started hatching eggs from them September of last year and all were hatching with no fertility issues whatsoever. But just a couple weeks ago, all of a sudden, none of the eggs were fertile. I have tried...
Guys what should i do she has laid 5 eggs and is now in the nest sitting on the eggs. Its an old oil drum cut open that she has laid in is this enough room for her? She was lifting straw with her beak all morning and now has went in and sat on her 5 eggs i really want baby silkies😭
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...
