    Will these eggs hatch?

    My dog killed two of my most favorite and best laying ducks but luckily I had some of their eggs. But I got their eggs right before I went out of town for ten days. During that time the people that were house sitting put the eggs in the fridge. Is it possible that the eggs could still hatch?

    My Hen Left Her Eggs 3 Days Before The Hatch Date!! Help!!

    I have never had to incubate eggs myself and I'm not sure what to do! I am not experienced in candling at all, and I'm not sure if the eggs are still alive. She left them sometime today, and I attempted the float test and they all seem okay, but I'm not sure if I did it right. I currently have...

    DIY incubator threads anywhere??

    I know there have to be multiple threads on the diy foam cooler incubators, but for some reason I can’t find them. Anyone have links or know who to ask? I’ve got a cooler, a picture frame taped in as a viewing window, and a wax melter from Walmart as the heat source. Will this actually work??

    Safe to use fertile eggs to incubate after Permethin?

    I just dusted my coop and some of my girls since they have some lice. I was already collecting eggs prior for incubation and just realized that I have no idea if the eggs tomorrow will now be ideal after this treatment for incubating? Thoughts? I used Gardstar poultry dust. I'm hoping I can...

    Candled eggs seem off

    I have my Muscovy females incubating their eggs. I had one go missing (Most likely an owl, hoping she just flew off. She got bullied the most) and gave her eggs to another brooding female. It’s been a week so I candled the eggs to check the progress and something seems amiss. Sorry I don’t have...
