    You can reach out to a wildlife rescue to come take them, OR, give them to the chickens to eat.

    If you do decide to incubate them, they need to be left in the position/orientation they are now. Do not turn the eggs.

    Agreed, these are reptile eggs of some sort. Although I'd love to see your face when little noodles come out instead of chicks!

    Can't have a basement either, unless I want to blow it out of the solid rock. And, that would be silly for a trailer. So all my babies are inside with me, and the place is filled to capacity (and beyond) right now. But it's still getting cold at night. Had to put my heater on a few times still.

    Last of this year's should hatch mid-June. After that, only eggs that broodies left behind will be placed in the incubators to hatch. Good season, barring that 60 hours power outage. I think I got close to 90% hatch rate (wasn't keeping tabs). Now I *really* need to make some outdoor brooders!!!

    What are these traps, and will they work on foxes?

    Average hatch rate for shipped eggs is what, 50%? I'd go for chicks.

    Love the white and black one in the middle! 6 hours shouldn't do much harm. I've had some mine make it through 60.

    :he :he :he :he :he Power was out for THREE DAYS! One of the incubators was on LOCKDOWN!!! Hoping beyond hope that some of the eggs made it through... Will check them tonight...

    There's a fallacy that chickens are 'past their prime' at 2. This is from the chicken factories that suck the life out of their hens. In a proper homestead with good food and housing and care, they are good for many many more years. They may not lay as many eggs, but they can reproduce just...

    I won't be seeing what these turn out to be as I have them up for sale right now. Tempting to keep one back, but I already decided which three I'm keeping.
