    Good morning! I am planning on shipping eggs this hatching season. I used to do it about 8 years ago, but I have pretty much forgotten the tips and tricks. I'd love to hear y'alls tips on packaging eggs for shipping. I have recieved quail hatching eggs before. They came in a small box that had...

    When do geese give up?

    For context I asked for two girl goslings so I didn’t have an issue with breeding but it is what it is and I love my goose and gander as they are. My geese have grown up and are getting it on. They’ve built a nest and are laying eggs in it, so I’ve been swapping their eggs out with infertile...

    Antibiotics and eggs?

    Hi all! I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right forum, so I apologize if not. One of my hens was put on antibiotics for a blueing crown.

    Seagull's Flock Thread

    Howdy there! I'll be putting together the thread throughout the next few weeks, but this first post is to give you a run down of the flock. I let them decide who they want to associate themselves with, so the dynamic of the flock is a little odd. I REPEAT, they choose who they branch off with...

    Egg withholding - can you give to chickens?

    We've been told to give our girls coxiprol to try with an issue we've got and it has a 10 day egg withholding period. I was wondering, can you (cook and) give the chickens their eggs when they're being given coxiprol or other meds they might all be on?

    Is this egg dead?

    Hello! This little guy was moving a few days ago and I went to do one last check (day 18) and he’s not looking too alive anymore. I can’t see any veins, only bloody looking spots; no movement (today, the other three eggs all moved into position and he hasn’t). Now I’m noticing the air sac is...
