    Duck Hatching Eggs

    Hello! I am a teacher in Henrico County, VA! I hatch chicks and ducklings every year and my usual duck egg guy is not confident he will have eggs for me. Does anyone near me have duck eggs for hatching available kind of last minute?

    Is this egg fertilized..?

    This morning, I was getting ready to make a goose egg (and chicken egg change) omelet when I saw what I think is a bullseye. I’d like y’all’s opinions on if it is or not. I do hope it’s not, because both of my geese are supposed to be female. I can crack another egg and take better photos if...

    Soft shell egg with yolk and tubular something??

    Long storyline, I apologize. About a month ago one of my hens (black sex link) started closing her eye and it began getting cloudy, no longer laying eggs, and was more lethargic than normal. I was treating the flock with tylosin (just in case) and treating her with that plus terramycin. The...

    Muscovy drake trying to mate with the broody female duck while it is sitting on the eggs?!!

    Hello, I searched a lot about this problem before deciding to post, and I didn't find anyone talking about it. I have two muscovy drakes and two female muscovy ducks, and I know that is a very low ratio, but I couldn't buy more than two at that time because of the price, and I am planning to buy...

    Best Treatment Details for Egg Yolk Peritonitis?

    Hey guys, I'm really hoping to find some detailed advice for this... A few weeks ago, my 2 year old ISA brown rescue hen, named Valentina, started showing signs of being unwell. She was lethargic, diarrhea, with a funny posture (tail up, but legs not in typical wide-stance position), but was...

    Day 16 - Is this dot concerning?

    I candle the eggs on the daily and just noticed this little funny looking shape in one of my more developed eggs. (It's the little liver-shaped thingy between the dark sides) Is this bad? I'm kinda new to incubating by myself 😥

    Heat Reactive Color Changing Egg??

    Today, in the wonderful world of, 'What The Heck???' I present to you an egg I just brought in from our coop to our kitchen. It looked like a really pale greenish-blue, but when I went to put it down, I saw where my fingers had been on it were now a lighter blue, which threw me a bit! Have you...

    Hormone Implant in Chickens

    Hello! This is not an emergency, but my question still fits in this category I believe. I'm looking for people who have had experience with the hormone implant. I've done some searches on the forums and I'm not finding many firsthand accounts or details on how the implant is working out for...

    Two year old hen laying twice in one day...

    Hello! I have a silkie hen, just over 2 years old that was acting off today. I sat with her for a bit and saw her lay an egg. She started walking around but still wasn't normal. I kept an eye on her for another hour or so and noticed she was not moving much, standing up, but not really walking...

    Broody hen - when will she start laying again?

    I have a currently Brooding Orpington x Brahma hen. It's her first time looking after chicks and she's done an amazing job. The chicks are 8 weeks old and she's still protecting them/sitting over them in the coop (there's 7 of them and they can't all fit under her, despite trying!) but she's...

    Raised cracks in eggs and dark lines on the inside of egg.

    I tried searching all over but couldn't find anything describing this. I'm worried they might be cracks or micro cracks and bacteria that grew around them. I'm a first time hen owner and my chickens just started laying. I found some of these on concrete and it seems like they are cracked, they...

    Muscovy Laid Soft Egg

    I bought 5 muscovies a few months ago and I believed I had 4 females and 1 male. 1 duck has a lot more red in his face, has larger feet, and does not trill so I assumed he was a male. They are all around 6 months old but today I found a soft/rubbery egg. I checked the camera expecting one of the...

    Hey yall I’m concerned about my two ducks. I have a pekin (Dolly) and a khaki Campbell (Loretta). Loretta typically lays one egg a day and Dolly will sometimes skip a day or two. For a while they were laying soft shelled eggs so I put a dish of oyster shell by their food and mixed some into...

    Do eggs change color over time?

    My Noir Marans hen just layed her first egg (yay)! I thought Noir Marans were supposed to lay dark chocolate brown eggs but this one is very light brown. Any chance her eggs will darken as she continues to lay or is this the color they'll be forever? Thanks!

    Which chicken breed laid this egg?

    This may seem like a silly question when you see my chickens and which breeds I am discussing here. Buff Orpingtons, Polish (unsure if bantam or large fowl), and an Easter Egger. This afternoon’s egg haul. The brown ones are my SGs. Bottom one is my 1yo KC duck’s. Top white egg is the one...

    Whose egg is it?

    I’ve got a pekin duck (Wally) and a khaki Campbell duck (Loretta) and I’m not sure what sex they are! I’ve been getting eggs and I think they might be Wally’s but not sure. Loretta is a lot quieter than Wally so I suspect she might actually be a male and Wally is female. I’ve attached a...
