    super poopy/muddy eggs....safe to eat/sell?

    sometimes when I've been getting my duck eggs in the morning, they've succeeded in submerging the eggs in poopy mud...I never thought this was a problem since I thoroughly wash them before I give them away or sell them. But I recently learned that bacteria CAN penetrate the shell??? wtf *mind...

    Any fellow duck lovers in Oregon?

    Hello, I'm in Clackamas County Oregon, have raised ducks for their eggs since 1986. All my girls decided to quit laying early this Fall so I'm out of eggs, and allergic to chicken eggs! Does anyone have any leads on finding some duck eggs to buy? I appreciate your help!

    Chickens eating their own eggs?

    Oh boy, another post. I just got home from school and made myself something to eat. Outside I saw one of the Welsummers being chased by the other hens while holding something large in her beak. I went out, grabbed her and took the cracked, empty egg that she was holding. I knew it was from a...

    Mice or Mouse eating eggs

    I had suspected my one of my hens was eating my eggs and I started isolating my hens to determine which one was responsible. Long story short. I visually spotted mice eating my eggs. I found a very effective way to catch the mice, without harming hens and I caught them (3) within 24 hours. Here...

    Who's eating eggs?

    Over the last month, our 2nd flock has begun to lay. However, we periodically find eggs that have obviously been pecked open and eaten. Some eggs are left untouched. How do I figure out who it is? The 2nd flock consists of all hens. The breeds are 1 of each: white leghorn, golden laced...

    Roosters climbing in nesting box, finding goo from smashed eaten eggs

    I've got 2 young (maybe 7-8 months old) SFH roos in with 2 hens (and some 2 month old pullets for future hen relief). I keep finding only one egg a day, or no eggs and wet egg goop in the hay in the nesting box. Today I've observed both roosters climbing into the nesting box, for who knows what...
