    Is this a fertilized “”bullseye” on the yolk?

    I’ve been keeping an eye on if my almost six month old rooster has been successful in fertilizing the eggs, he’s been “active” but still on the young side. Here is an hour old egg I have cracked open, looks like a bullseye to me, but I’m not very experienced having a rooster yet, and getting...

    Odd Yolk?

    Cracked one of our newest pullets egg this morning. The egg had two yolks. The one on the left appeared normal but the one on the right had a different appearance I’ve never seen before. Any ideas? Is it safe to eat? She has only been laying for maybe two weeks.

    So our chickens have only been laying eggs since May 23rd and only 4 of our hens are laying so far but today we got a double egg? I went to crack and cook a very large egg that my wife was sure was our first double yolk. I was very surprised to find another whole egg shell in the egg! Is this...

    Hi, all. I got a strange egg today. Well, technically an egg from a couple days ago that I cracked open this morning. It had a strange, whitish, pretty large patch on the yolk. I looked up all the common egg problems and causes and couldn’t find anything that matched. There was no smell to the...

    What a duckling looks like when its still absorbing the yolk! Not ready yet!

    Here is a video I took tonight of a Blue Swedish duckling in the incubator on Day 29. It externally pipped and 36 hours later started to zip. We lightly helped clean some loose shell away and used a q-tip to lightly coat the membrane/chick with bacitracin because we noticed it appeared to be...
