    Water glassing

    I just water glasses my first set of eggs (3dozen) and measured out my solution to 2tablespoons/quart, but my water still looks clear. It’s not milky nor is there a build up of salt at the bottom like most others(there’s a little bit but not a lot). Should I just add more to it? Suggestions...

    New laying hen staying in run/coop

    I currently have only one out of 16 hens laying. However, a couple days up to laying to now laying for two days, this hen has been sticking to the coop/run area vs free ranging with the rest of the flock. The run and coop part does normally stay open so the chickens can come and go as they...

I follow Poultry Keepers 360 on Facebook and they have TONS of extremely helpful information there. I thought I would share the spreadsheet I found on their page. If you are just a hobby...

    Incubator temperature

    I recently bought a 12 egg incubator and this will be my first time using it but the celsius on the screen keeps going from 38.0 to 37.7. I’ve had the incubator on for about 3 days and every once in a while, the incubator keeps doing that. I have two hydrometers inside and one marks 97.6 but...

    Egg Laying!

    Hi all, I posted back in June (I think!) that my lovely little runner or mix Peaches stopped laying. We are pretty sure she is still not laying almost 4 months later which is a little concerning. She is such a happy duck, she roams and forages all day, has access to fresh food, drinking water...

    Shipping Eggs Question

    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. I know that we cannot consume her eggs for roughly 10 weeks. My question is, can I feed her shell back to her still for the calcium benefit or should I stray...

    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...
