Yeah, I know I should buy from a breeder, but honestly, don't have room for straight runs and have a full freezer at the moment. Can you recommend a Hatchey that has good quality Welsummer eggs? I absolutely love the dark speckled eggs! I know how hard it is to try to purchase NPIP Welsummer...

I have several really beautiful eggs that have already been blown out and dry. I want to hang them indoors on a tree. I have NO idea what the decorative "part" is called that is glued on the top and bottom of the egg to cover the holes where the egg was blown out - so I can put string though it...

Hi, We had severe thunderstorms come though a couple days ago, it was day 12 of incubating in an R-COM 20. The electricity was off for almost 4 hours. I put a blanket over the incubator as soon as the electricity went out. As soon as it came back on I removed the blanket. The temp had dropped...

These are from purchased fertilized eggs that my broody hatched out. They are just a few days over 3 weeks in the pics. I have no clue which ones are boys/girls. What do you think they are? Thanks!

I'm redoing the coop and would like to change the ladder style roost to a roost w/ poop board over the nesting boxes to make for more floor space in the coop and easier clean up. I can't seem to get a good idea for what it should look like, measurements for how wide the poop board should be...
