A fertilized and brooded egg is coated varnish It never gives rise to a chick why?

Believe it or not, a chicken's egg is actually a semi-permeable membrane which allows oxygen to reach the chick. Shelaque or varnish seals the egg and makes it air tight. Without oxygen, the chick cannot develop and essentially suffocates.

What is the best duvet filling you can buy Does 100 percent Siberian goose down exist or is it a marketing con Are these geese protected These are claims from retailers what's the real truth?

I can tell from experience, I was showing our Siberian goose down filled products as well as other products from our store and at the end of the show myself and my 2 coworkers, we took some of the pillows and started pillow fighting as a joke and then the other vendors got into it and started ryling us on and it got serious...so serious that I took one of our Siberian goose down pillows and hit the the guy who works with me upside the head (595$ pillow) and the pillow exploded...Siberian goose down everywhere it was hilarious these little poofs of feather because down is a protein derivitive of the goose feather, we were all laughing and swallowing down at the same time. up until then I had just sold the product and taken the vendors word for it. it was all white and fluffy and you could tell why they charged so much for the stuff. By the end of the show there was down in a fifty foot radius in every direction of where we stood. I am going to shameless plug though, I own a 100year old store in west palm beach fl. called Pioneer Linens, My name is Alan Murphy J and that is a true story.

Yes, it does exist - the truth is that Siberia does have geese farmers who look after geese who are primarily kept for their down as it truly is excellent down. The truth is also that geese do fly and so when people say that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down it could be that the goose is from an area close by and this is where they get the claim that there is no such thing as Siberian goose down.

Most duvet companies who sell Siberian goose down sell them as their luxury range as Siberian down is of the highest quality. Once the down is collected is it inspected by experts who will then only collect the very finest down clusters for their Siberian duvets.

if you are looking for a duvet of distinction which is Siberian then I would recommend Kauffmann duvets who create their duvets in Austria where there are stringent rules and regulations for quality and the environment.

Kauffman no 1 and Princess of the Night are both Siberian goose down and although, expensive they truly are luxury duvets which will last for over 10 years. I can guarantee that once you have slept under Siberian goose down you will know the difference and you will not want to sleep under anything else.

How long does it take chicken eggs to hatch?

Chicken eggs take exactly 21 days from the date they are started incubating. Hatched naturally, most broody hens will take about 6 days to gather enough eggs and then set the nest. For the next 21 days she will seldom leave the nest except for defecating and occasionally for food and water. She will not allow the eggs to drop more than a degree or two in temperature.

Artificial incubation of eggs starts from the day you gather enough eggs. Eggs can be gathered for up to 7 days if the first of the eggs are maintained in cool humid conditions. Once enough have been collected they are set into the incubator and again, 21 days later they should start to peep (hatch).

In order for an animal to stay alive it must stay warm. While the egg is still being formed inside the mother hen her body the yolk, which has the embryo on it, is kept warm by the hen. When the egg leaves the hen it has no other source of heat to stay alive. This is why you have to incubate fertilized chicken eggs that you plan to hatch.

You got a goose hen that has been sitting on the eggs for almost two months and no chicks yet why?

If the eggs don't hatch it mean they were either never fertile to begin with (the goose never mated or the mating never resulted in a pregnancy), or she didn't sit on her eggs constantly and they were exposed to the elements.
