There are a lot of different methods of incubating eggs.
When I decide to incubate, I personally have chosen to stick to the recommended temperature and humidity recommended online as well as what it instructs for my specific incubator. Currently, I have a Nuture Right 360 that I have hatched...
Hi everyone! So my babies are finally laying and I was wondering what is the longest I can wait before incubating the eggs? I’m trying to get a decent amount that way I can do a large batch.
Hello! New to BYC! I was selling my happy flocks eggs on another site and doing well til rules took it all away (boooo!)
My flock lives all together for now. We will have pens by color in the fall!
Currently I have eggs from an awesome variety of silkies and satins:
White bearded
White Non...
We have a little flock of year old hens. Up until about two months ago, we had a rooster, but he went to—shall we say—rooster heaven. This past week, I have cracked two eggs that looked for all the world to be fertilized: a little dark red dot trailing a diaphanous white streamer across the...
Hello! I've never hatched eggs before, but I found a lone pheasant egg by the side of a road the other day, very clearly abandoned, so I took it home with me. I noticed that it had a lot of development - possibly around 10-13 days. It had veins, a very clear air sack, and a clear embryo- and I'm...
My little hen is laying well now as are the rest of my flock. I’ve placed the eggs in a quiet box with straw, water and feed. I’ve placed the hen (Asil X shamo) in with them to see if she sits. What’s the chances my chicken friends?
How many eggs will a male turkey fertilize in one mating session? If I keep collecting the turkey eggs, how many will be fertile until they are no longer fertile? My male and female have done the deed and I know my first 3 are fertile as they are in the incubator. As far as I know, they have...
Like the title says I am looking for miniature Appleyard, east indie or/and Silver Bantam fertile duck eggs in the UK. I am planning to begin to incubate them around Feb-March but I am trying to see if I can find someone to source them for me because I am struggling to find many sellers. Thank...

Hi!
So I've got 3 female and one (new) male quail. They were all in the same pen together for about a week and now my male is pecking on my girls!! It started with just the one, we took her out, let her rest, I'm putting Neosporin on her head. Now he started pecking on one of the other females...
So...I have a call drake mating with a Swedish duck...Has anyone ever heard of fertilized eggs resulting from a call drake and an average sized duck?... (I have 7 eggs in the incubator and wondering if I’m wasting my time and incubator space)... 😂
Hey y’all!
I’m looking for, I believe they’re called, Silkie Sizzles? I’m going to attach a picture of what my mother-in-law sent me. I find them online being called 3 different things.
Thanks!
I’ve seen lots of posts about fertile eggs having a white circle on the yolk. What do we reckon to my turkey egg? I personally don’t think it looks fertile.
Opinions please....
Ok, I'm new at this guessing game. I think I can see bullseyes on both of my girls eggs. I have 2 pics of each. Tell me what you think please, fertile or not. My 2 girls (a lavendar buff and an olive easter egger) have been away from their roosters for 13 days now. I've got 15 eggs and...
We have four children and a few different breeds of chickens and quail. I had no idea I would fall in love with Quail like I have. We got some quail eggs from a very nice lady and hatch them out and ended up with a Texas A&M male, two Coturnix quail females and one Italian gold Manchurian...
