Deb, that seed is super cool.

What so you think? Quitter or developing? This is ome of the eggs i yanked from the broody.

Little bit of veining but a big black blob in the middle..

In a chicken egg it would be a goner , should be a small circle rather and it should be moving , in a duck egg ? never had ducks so ??

I'll trade you one leg horn chick for this brahma.

come on, just make it a whole long tail collection!
I know! I always end up with 5 roosters and 1 hen. I about died when I realized they all look like pullets but that brown split!

haha maybe we can trade eggs later the cockerel is even better looking then she is

I'd wait for the egg in the incubator so long as it isnt smelling cracking or seeping should be ok

@BriardChickens I'd call that duck egg dead of that black spot isn't moving. It looks stuck to the shell.

It is stories like this that make me wonder how "chicken" ever got to be a term for someone afraid of something. I know mine can be skittish at times but the will take on the cats for food or space and the cats give way to them.

Your sheep obviously know who rules the roost!

Well, the roosters are more "chicken" then the hens. One of the sheep tried to give the rooster a sniff last night. He just about exploded before he realized it was a sheep.

Dang, probably an early quitter... the egg I thought was clear still doesn't have any veining, maybe not fertile.

I candled my 7 eggs in the incubator last night. Hard to make out anything in there or even see movement anymore.

Edit: considering those are shipped eggs (4 days in the mail) I am having really good luck with their fertility.

the black spot isn't moving and it's almost the size of a loonie!

there is a slight off putting smell in the incubator... I wasn't too sure at first, but I am thinking it's this one.

hate making decisions like this because I'll want to crack it open....

Ugh, get the stinker out... you definitely don't want that to contaminate the rest... if you open it, I suggest sealing it in a ziploc baggie first... hope the rest are doing good!

I've learned not to do that in the house
