I’ve got a mystery. I have 7 21-22 week chickens some are laying. Last week I discovered most my eggs are fertilized. I can’t for the life of me figure out the culprit. I’ve got a security camera pointing at the nesting boxes and have confirm 4 layers. The other 3 have entered the boxes but I...
I was so grossed out, I already discarded the thing.
