Hi everyone! We have two broody hens who are trying to hatch eggs. I am in the presses of trying to break them but haven’t yet. We weren’t able to collect eggs for a few days and have ten partially developed eggs now. We don’t have the space for them so I was wondering in anyone in northern...
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...
Hi everyone, my Cayuga ducks laid this egg about three days ago and i noticed yesterday the formation of a black dot in the center that’s become more prominent today. Is this a good sign? Or has the egg lost its chance? I cant make out any veins quite yet!
I have a Pilgrim pair that is 9 months old. My goose laid this egg Feb 10, another the 14th and one today. I’m excited, but want to make sure they’re fertile since I’ve only seen my drake mate the goose, not the gander 🤦♀️
This is the first egg - fertile? If yes, I won’t crack any more and let...
Hi all,
I’m from Washington state a little east of Seattle, and was looking to get some fertile eggs or chicks from anyone in the area. If anyone is selling fertile eggs in the PNW, I’d love to buy some from you, at least a dozen, or a few dozen ideally I
I bought some 15 month old ISA browns off a lady just over a week ago ( she had many other chickens and Cockerells) they have been laying lovely eggs most days, but today I found the weirdest looking egg in their nesting box. It's almost like rubber, it's not a hard shell, very soft and...

Please help! This is our first “breeding” season for our geese. Mumma laid 6 eggs, we are down to 4. She is incubating them herself, not in an incubator.
From what I can understand these are fertile due to the shadow/air sack? Or were at some point. She started sitting on the night of 6th of...
So previously i’ve posted about my first time hatching ducks. When i posted the photos of my duck eggs i was told that only one of them was fertile. I cracked the eggs (exept for the one i was told is fertile) and yep, no baby. So it’s day 29 of this fertile egg being in the incubator. We can’t...
I’m new to hatching eggs and I found what I believe is a duck egg. (Sorry i know this forum is for chickens) but can anyone tell me if this egg is fertile? Somethings have happened inside since I found it. I just want to know if it’s developing or rotting. It’s been 3 days since I’ve started...
Hello, I would like to know about a coturnix quail farm in Canada that sells me fertile eggs. I am very interested in the colors of the quail. Thank you :jumpy:wee
We have a silkie roo and two laying hens, I've seen him mate with them a few tines and I have patiently waited to see if any if the eggs we gather have been fertilized successfully. This one in particular looked different than they usually do. Is that the bullseye? I've tried to figure it out on...
The hen that laid this had been mounted several times 4 days ago, the roo doesn’t leave her side. She doesn’t like the other chickens using “her” box and occasionally the roo will force other chickens out. I have left the last 3 eggs in the box for her because I think she may be laying fertile...
Hi I couldn't find a definitive answer so I thought I'd ask here.
I have about 25 hens and was thinking about adding a rooster or two for breeding. Will having a rooster cause the eggs to be no good for eating? I would hate to end up with bloody eggs for breakfast.
Thanks in advance.
Hello again fellow chicken lovers!
okay, so I think I have a fertile egg, since I witnessed one of my hens mating with my young roo yesterday.
I believe the egg to the far right is fertile…?
Finally my celadon girls started laying eggs. My question is if their very first eggs are ok to incubate? Or should I wait one or two weeks or longer? The male is mounting correctly.
Thank you!
I wish you a nice day!
I went to check my girls lay box and she had two eggs as I’m still unsure weather or not her and my male have been together I wasn’t sure if they would be fertile and I read if you crack open an egg you can tell by a white spot on the yolk so I cracked open the older of the two eggs and I’m...
Hi everyone!
Our hens started laying not that long ago. A mix of old English bantam and Buff Orpington.
I tried a fertility test on each and was surprised by the results.
Any idea why?
Skip to minute 7:50 in this video to see the test and the yolk.
rest of the video is great too if you are...
