eggs

So one of my girls (idk which one) laid an unusually small egg, but not small enough to really be considered a fart egg. No idea if the size of it is the cause of this, but when I boiled it up, the yolk had the same [maybe a smidge rubberyer, snapped instead of crumbled when torn apart, shiny...

My hen sits on her eggs, but I think they are dead eggs. We are on day 4 and I don’t see development. Is it safe to remove the eggs or should I keep them with her for a little longer ?

I wanna see everyone's lovely meals from the eggs of your precious flocks. I'll go first! Here's my fried egg from breakfast on some ham and freshly homemade bread (made by my awesome mom) with some cheese, tomatoes, and such. It's wonderful to get some amazing breakfasts from the eggs of my...

Hello all, I have a Farm Innovators 4250 styro incubator. It's worked great twice now and I like it. I started a batch of eggs today and the temperature started fluctuating like crazy. I've had it on for about 5 days now, and the biggest difference I've seen is about 1.5° F in opposite corners...

I have a chicken who keeps pacing in her run to her coop. when she is in her coop she is scratching all of the bedding out of her nesting box like she is mad that I put it there. But it’s to the point where she is scraping the bottom with her nails and just won’t stop. What in the heck is...

So my moms friend has a mated pair of sun conures. She recently asked me if I would incubate some eggs. I know nothing about incubating conure eggs, is there anyone that could give me the ins and outs of trying this? I have a NR360. I haven’t given her a yes or no answer yet as I don’t even know...

I’m getting a new rooster for my flock, what I want to know is how long should I wait for the new rooster to have definitively fertilized all the hens, before I try incubating. I currently have a gamefowl rooster as a protector but he recently became aggressive, so we’re rehoming. I definitely...

Hi everyone! I have a large ever growing flock. (Chicken math) I have an 8x12 shed I converted into their coop and they free range. My dogs do a great job protecting them during the day but I'd like to build/buy a run for extra security. How big should I make it? Is it cheaper to buy the lumber...

For the first time I am thinking about selling my excess eggs. In the past I have always given away my excess to friends and neighbors but the feed is becoming so expensive that I am tempted to put a cooler at the end of my driveway and post a for sale sign when I have extra. I don’t have a...
