We got a bakers dozen, 4 late deaths in shell. One wry neck given nutridrench, vitamin e and selenium. 2 malpositioned needed assists. The dis were hens eggs the pullet eggs had no problems. I wonder if it because they have just finished their molt.
I give my dogs scrambled eggs on their kibble a couple of times a week. Sometimes food pantries will take donations too. You can hard boiled them mash them shells and all and give back to chickens.
Only for an hour suoervised in the evenings. With predator threat and poppy neighbors, can't do any more. I don't have fencing around the majority of my property either.
I will be setting some eggs for a customer in about 2 weeks. I don't believe that I have participated in a hatchalong since last Halloween. It has been a busy year.
