Thanks! That's exactly what I needed to know. I have eggs in the incubator right now, but I guess I can be pretty certain that I'll be getting fertilized eggs when they hatch. :)  

Two days ago, I put my two remaining Buff Orpington hens in with a rooster. I want to hatch some eggs to bring my buff numbers up again. How long does it take for eggs to be fertile after the introduction of a rooster? I've seen him...

I am setting 18 eggs: 11 golden campine and 7 bantam EEs. I am very curious about how the EEs will turn out, since one rooster in with the one hen is the only survivor of a nice brown red Ameraucana clutch of eggs (stupid post office)...

LOL Mutant bald eagle!  I love it. I picked out two of the "white" chicks with a couple of colored feathers in their wings hoping I'd get something nice to look at and it looks as if I did. This one is keeping a golden...

I am 100% certain that this is a rooster. He is a hatchery Welsumer. Am I right?I am 90% certain that this is a pullet. She is also a hatchery Welsumer. Do I have a pair?

Wow! That's amazing color on those wings GhostRider! Is it really that vibrant in real life?

Okay, I wasn't able to get very good pics of the comb, since 1) I couldn't find my new batteries and 2) I was in a hurry because it was starting to rain. BUT I did get a really good pic of the OTHER white EE's comb and can see the...
