It looks like an un fertilized embryo. All eggs have the embryo, fertile eggs have a halo around it.

Very nice looking egg!

Hi... what a beautiful flock! Sounds like you’re having fun... and I feel for ya.. those “puppy days”

Hi! I loved your post, you sound like me I started with four chickens and two ducks. I also have 5 dogs (4 pit bulls and 1 blue heeler) and 3 kids though they're grown and don't stay with me. At times we've had up to 15 dogs when we had a rescue and my mama pit has pups. She's pregnant now . Every litter she's had has been 9 pups. There's a spay appointment in her near future . I've also recently added 7 Sapphire gems, 3 Featherless necks, 3 Ayem Cemanis, 3 Yellow Sex Links, 3 Brahmas, 3 Jersey Giants, 3 Barnevelders, 3 Rhode Island Reds, 3 Buckeyes, 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Cornish Broilers (so my man will stop complaining about not being allowed to eat any of them lol). So I'm apparently insane lmao. I want to add a couple jungle fowl, ona

We're getting a cold snap here in north Florida...we will be in the low 30s tonight. It's quite brisk outside currently but the tarp over the mini run and the heat lamp for my bigger chicks that I've moved outdoors seem to be working well and everyone was out foraging this morning when i fed. The little chicks in three brooders are in a small room with a space heater and their heat lamps and are happy as can be. So far so good.

Hi! My name is Kristen and I'm new to raising poultry. I started about 8 months ago with 4 Americaunas and 2 Pekin ducks. Since then I've added 7 Sapphire gems, 3 Featherless Neck or Turkens, 3 Ayem Cemanis, 3 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Jersey Giants, 3 Barnevelders, 3 Rhode Island Reds, 3 Buckeyes, 3 Yellow Sex Links, 3 Brahmas and 3 Cornish Broilers. I'm looking to add a few more ducks, but haven't yet decided on breeds. I'm looking at runners, harlequinns and rouenns currently. All of my chicks are new additions except for the original four Americaunas and two ducks. So...i will be working very hard to ensure everyone gets plenty of care and attention. I should have plenty of updates for this thread lol

Hi

... WOW!... you have LOTS! :love
