EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[daxigait]

She enjoyed the fall. This was Wednesday. Just so she is remembered as the nice hen she was.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

@casportpony @ChickenCanoe I found a still warm, but dead chicken when I was doing chores. Kristy was still warm. I would like your advice on what I need to do.
I saw her last night when I got home late and she was lathargic. I did not see anything obvious wrong, and I did not feel an egg, but I am not sure what I am/was doing. Tonight she was found with poop on her (yesterday I noticed a bit of poop on her bum, but it was just a little bit). I took a couple of pictures and then put her in the fridge until I could get a chance to ask what I should do. Should I attempt an autopsy even though I have no clue (is there information on how), do I need to send her somewhere, or should I just let it go? One other bird has just a bit on her feathers, but everyone else seems fine. She was a March chick a green egg layer (Ameraucana over RIR).

Sorry Dax

Hey all got my Christmas present early today

Great start! 

This tree and I have had a run in a few years back. See the bend in it, well I stood on the couch arm trying to put the angel on top. Needless to say it wasn't pretty some how I fell doing a somersault around that very end table. Sliding down the wall I ended up with my head and neck in the corner looking up and my legs straight up. Stuck

They look washed. Is that ok with duck eggs

To me they look like they were in the fridge and have condensation on them, they look like they still have the film (bloom? Right?) on them which would mean they haven't been washed.
