    Do I need heat lamps?

    I live in Oklahoma and it’s going to be -10 F this weekend and generally below freezing for a while so I was wondering if I need heat lamps.

    What is this in my egg

    I cracked this egg and saw these tiny dots in it, I’m trying to figure out if this is just a normal thing that happens from time to time, if this means the egg is fertile, or if I need to fix something diet wise. I also want to double check that these are safe to eat.
