Dumb question...
Most of my breeding pens are producing eggs, but my midnights/split midnights are constantly harassing the peacock I paired them with. I just collected an egg from their enclosure yesterday - and while I can say my other pens have had successful breedings, I've seen kinda poor performance from the midnight lad. He's been displaying, but the girls take pot shots at him whenever possible. Considering how little he seems to have impressed them... what are the odds these girls are laying fertile eggs?
Is it possible for a hen to lays eggs without being bred? Or did this midnight gent get into the hen's good graces just long enough to do the trick?
I've never seen such unimpressed hens before, but these two are notorious mean girls.
