    Can I eat my chicken eggs while using Corid?

    Google says..... Amprolium (CORID) is approved for use in laying hens by the FDA, which means there is no egg withdrawal period when using it. Eggs laid by hens may be eaten during and after treatment with amprolium. What is the general opinion? I don't always trust the FDA.

    Newbie to egg hatching. Any tips?

    I’ve made two homage incubators (one is for lockdown one is for the first 16 days. Because I don’t want too much humidity) I started with 25 eggs in total. I had to discard about 7 yesterday due to being past due date (and DIS) I have one that’s supposed to hatch today but hasn’t made a sound...

    Are These Quail Eggs Viable?

    This is my very first time hatching Cotournix Quail and Im worried these may have stopped developing. It's day 15 (lockdown day). I ended up with 4 that developed to this, the air cells seem worryingly large. And one egg that's too dark to see through. Will these likely not hatch? I have a gut...
