    How long can incubated eggs survive the cold?

    This morning, the incubator was left open by my brother. 8 hours later, I come home and realize what happened. The eggs were about ~5 days along, could they have survived? They’re in our kitchen so the temperature was about 65-70 degrees.

    Can I wash my eggs?

    Hi, my neighbor (he doesn’t live there, he just works the land) has been wanting some ducks on his pond (where he lives) since we got ours. We were hoping to incubate some for him that our ducks have laid. Some of our eggs are a bit dirty, our ducks could care less where they lay :rolleyes...

    Help with Pricing Salmon Faverolle?!

    Hi all, I have recently started raising Salmon Faverolle, and I have someone interested in buying eggs from me to incubate already! Very exciting, but I'm struggling to settle on a price. Anyone have any ideas what fertilized eggs would go for of that breed? Or chicks/pullets for that matter...

    Double Air Sac?

    Is this a double air sac? I’m pretty sure it was laid by our Pekin. If I were to incubate this egg, would that cause issues?

    Egg splitting, hatching oddly appro. 21 days

    I had to put these two eggs into incubation after one got crack at the tip, when two hens tried to brood them and got into a fight. I sealed over the crack and they've developed normally, but starting last night the cracked egg began to split length wise. This is right at the time they should be...
