Hi everyone!
So... today we got our first eggs! We got 2 eggs, and I think they are from our 2 silkie girls. They were pretty small and a sort of pinkish white color, but they tasted really good. I have a few questions about eggs.
1- How do you tell if an egg is fertilized? We recently found out one of our silkies is a rooster, and in the future, I may want to hatch some chicks and sell them. Also... can a hen just hatch the eggs, or do I need an incubator? I saw a small brown thing near the yoke, what could this be?
2- How much light do hens need to lay eggs?
3- Anything else you think I should know!
Thanks for any help!
