I am one of the set them right away people. I dont see what benefit letting them sit will achieve, exept make them 1 day older. A ruined egg is a ruined egg no matter how long it rests. When...

Our vet always told us to not buy just one bite because it can kill whatever eats the rat or mouse. that tomcat is safer, i dont know.

Older red sex links( same as golden comets I guess) lay larger eggs sometimes double yolkers.

I have about 8 cats running around and they do not help at all. The mice and rats hide and stay where the cats cant get to them. You must use poison if you really want to get rid of the problem. I...

Did you help it hatch? if so, it was not quite ready yet. If the yolk is small it does have a chance if it did not get infection and if the yolk absorbs and does not rupture. All you can do now is...
