i know this is not about chickens but what kind of bird egg is this?

The white thing on the egg is the part that holds the yolk to the egg white it is called chalaza.

I agree with the advice everyone is giving you. You need to take care of the chickens you have first, get them the right food and git rid of the mites. If your hen starts laying you might enjoy that so much you forget about trying to hatch an egg.

If you get all that taken care of and still want to hatch an egg. You need to be prepared first before buying it. You need to have all the stuff to take care of a hatching egg and then stuff to take care of a chick if it were to hatch.

No egg, not even any bird egg, can hatch on its own. They all need heat and humidity at the right levels.

You could some day build your own incubator for just a little money, but you need to research it first and get all the parts together and build it and test it before you ever buy an egg to put in it.

It looks like you are doing a good job trying to raise Daisy, just keep reading on here and you will learn a lot and will be able to take even better care of here as you learn.

Okay I got offline and started cleaning my house and this started bothering me. As a mother of 3 I would not want my child on line unsupervised let alone on a site with probably 95% adults,and posting pictures of themselves. So, I am sure you know this however I will feel better if I remind you. That yes the vast majority of people you meet are nice, however you do not know who you are talking to on here or any where online. People can and do lie and it is the utmost importance that you DO NOT give anybody ANY personal information. I am not saying there are bad people on BYC I am just saying you never know. Please be careful. I personally would refrain from posting pics of myself, as a mother I find this inappropriate. I don't even like to think of my daughter posting pics online like that with out permission.
Don't think I am ranting I just worry and if nothing else it will make me feel better to remind you of these things.
Thanks
 
if i were u i would do this 1. get rid of the mite s on your chicken and get proper feed.
2. if you still want to hath an egg decied and plan what type of inubator you want to buy / make.
3. make the inubator
4. reasaerch what u need to do to incubate a egg (differet requirements for different breeds)
5. test your incubator (stableinzing temps, humidity ect)
6. buy your eggs(s)
incubate
7.have all the nessacary food and feeders and wateres and a brooder set up before the chick(s) hatch and most imortant Look after them

Ummm I have to say your mom maybe doesnt care, but you really should. I dont want to undermine her, but maybe she is just too busy, or doesnt know much about the internet.

I thought about that when i saw the pictures. I think BYC is a pretty safe place, but there are 27,000 peopel on here, who are impossible to really know. You should be more carefull.

And, by the way, i love the pictures of the R.I.P. eggs.
