    Shipped eggs

    Hi, I have the chance to pre-order some silver pied eggs. How well do pea eggs ship in general. The eggs are around 278 km from my house or a 3 hour drive. I'm still just thinking about it before I pre order as I don't want to waste money on eggs that won't hatch due to shipping.

    Is this a silkie egg?

    Hi, my buff orpingtons and salmon faverolle pullets have been laying since Christmas. Yesterday I got this egg. Is it from one of my silkie pullets? Or is it just a small egg. The egg in question is on the right, the salmon faverolle egg is in the middle and buff orpington on the left.

    Oats with propionic acid?

    Hi, I'm wondering if oats with propionic acid added to them are safe for hens, as they are so cheap compared to the single bags of oats without propionic acid. Is this safe for my hens?

    Prolapsed egg

    There could have been tearing. I'm really not sure. It seemed normal enough when it was coming out. I will send some pics after I come back from town. I'll put vaseline on her aswell. She has electrolytes and she loves the bsf larvae. How long could it take for the prolapse to retract? And what...

    Update: my dad and I soaked her in warm water and gently rubbed the prolapse there didnt seem a hole for the egg to come out.

    What bread Of goose is the best to own?

    I love my embdens, their temperament and the blue eyes! They don't lay too many eggs that you will be overwhelmed with goose eggs but they lay enough. And they're not very loud. I mean the ganders are sort of piercing but the geese are very quiet.
