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...
I'm looking to y'alls expertise to help me eliminate some of these eggs, & clean out the incubators so I don't have any explosions along the way.

is it possible for a rooster and hen to mate after a few hours of being introduced??
I borrowed a rooster for half a day to see if he would mate. That was 2 days ago.
My chickens never sit on their eggs but today one was sitting on 6 of them! Do you think they could be fertile??
Hello there, I have a guinea hen who has been sitting on her eggs for roughly 32 days. I candled them in the beginning to see if they were fertile and I don't think so but I think she knows they are. She has gone broody in the past but only sat on her eggs for three nights maximum. Since she's...
I have a broody silkie hen that raised babies back in February. She had been broody for about 5 days when I gave her some baby chicks, who she cared for wonderfully. Now shes at it again but I don't have any baby chicks on hand to give her, so I gave her fertile eggs. But every time I check on...
