    Infertile chicken??

    Need some opinions on this one. We have a speckled sussex hen who is about 8-10 months (assuming seller was honest), shes been with the flock for over 3 months, she is a successful layer, lays almost daily, she is a welcome part of the flock & has established pecking order. The rooster is a...

    Broody goose with infertile eggs

    Hello all! I have a darling female Toulouse goose, Bella, Bella has been broody for a very long time, I think about a month and a half or more, unfortunately our gander died of old age so her eggs are infertile, I’m worried she might start getting depressed if her eggs don’t hatch, but after a...

    Is my Muscovy hen a cross breed? How can I tell and does that make her infertile??

    I am brand new to Muscovy ducks and only have one at the moment: When my drake lost his mate I thought I'd get him another and a nearby Craigslist post led me to a flock of muscovy ducks. I assess the seller as a nice enough person and it all seemed innocent BUT... he showed me his flock of...

    Bantam cochin fertility issues

    I bought a trio of bantam cochin chickens. And the hens are laying eggs, and I have hatched a few of their eggs in the past (6), but the fertility is extremely low. Their age is about 3 years, and I feel like the problem isn't with the age, I think they face difficulty in mating. The male does...

    Incubator issues — every egg non-viable???

    Hey guys, I’ve set about 8 silkie eggs and 28 quail eggs on May 4th and May 8th respectively. Today is the first day I decided to candle. Chicken eggs first. All clear. At first I thought maybe the hen (they’re all from one hen) was infertile, but then I candled my quail eggs which I KNOW are...

    Infertile Pigeon

    Ive noticed overtime that my original female highflyer has never layed any eggs nor mated that often. She has a mate at the moment which is a ‘Latte’ looking pigeon, and I’ve seen them attempt to mate once unsuccessfully due to a cock bird attacking them. At the moment I’ve put some eggs layed...

    Does Cockerel Size Matter?

    Sorry I couldn't resist. Anyway, I just went through all of the cortunix quail eggs I am incubating and it is day 14 right now. I tried to candle them and out of 24 eggs, I have ONE that MAY be viable. My cock to hen ratio is 1:4. I am positive there is nothing in the others because I cut them...

    The Shells of Infertile Eggs

    Hi everyone, We keep ducks, and have noticed a phenomenon I just haven't heard a lot about. Not infrequently, we get a "striped" egg. Just looking at the egg, it doesn't seem different from any other. Thickness is good, size/shape is normal. We noticed these when my sister began blowing out...
