Mystery Egg, Came In A Barnyard Mix For Hatching! (Duck, or Chicken Egg?)

The hatcheries have a 90% guarantee that the chicks will be females, so it is possible to get a male even though the tank may say pullets.

I thought it was a 98%.

Do you see any veins?
I don't, but photo may not be picking up what you are seeing there.

TSC does not sex chicks. They are sexed by the hatchery that provides them to TSC.

No they don’t sex them. The girl and I were looking online for characteristics of the different breed and she was like the shy ones are pulleys let me scare them and that way we picked all pullets and probably some luck too

This day 4 for the turkeys, 3 days until the other eggs go in the incubator.

Well that's the first I've heard that one. Logically it should work 50 % of the time.

Somebody wanted to know if there was a swirly pattern on the shell that could be seen with candling. They said the swirl is seen with duck eggs.

It's suppose to be a pattern within the shell it'self seen by candling.

I hope your luck is better than ours. Out of 6 silkies we got 6 roosters. I finally rehomed them all. I miss those white fluff balls. Maybe one day, we’ll try again.

Ouch
