My eggs are not fertile- I have a dang young gentleman rooster!

Are you sure? He could be mating only one girl. Incubate them just to be safe. :-D

And candle at day 7 to mark air cell and check fertility

I had 2 of every egg almost I opened every other egg. they were all a no go, don't feel bad for me, remember I just hatched out 16 from diff coops, I just wanted my own. It will happen.

Thank you for your thoughts.

You should be like me. Nice and calm.

You won't see any posts from me asking when my ducks will hatch. Nope! Nope! Nope!

Uh oh! I have five more duck and 50+ chicken eggs right now!


I didn't do anything! I am innocent! Innocent I tell ya!


You heard them! EVERYONE HEARD THAT!!!!! I MUST set more duck eggs!

I HEARD THAT!

Sorry about the lousy pics. I have to find the battery charger for the camera, so my phone camera has to do for now.

Here are the happy chicks!

Awe sweet babies!

I decided to put my eggs in cartons with bottoms cut out, then instead of turning I will tilt the cartons a few times a day. I have incubated 6/6 in cartons before, but at lock down I like to lay them out. I have 2 thermometers to make sure no cold spots, my water dish has a penny in it, Sally's idea. this is the size water dish I use till lock down, I just fill it as I go.

I was going ask about the penny but I read the other posts, I will try this!

I have not a clue how many serama are in that entire strainer, and those are legbar in the cartons, and I have an entire cooler full of jumbo layer eggs. I need more bators not to mention the mails is coming the mail is coming WE COULD GUESS HOW MANY SERAMA EGGS ARE IN THE STRAINER oh wait there are more downstairs and in the coops!

Beautiful eggs!

Mine were shipped yesterday!!!! I should get them by thursday!!!!!

Yay!!! Exciting! Are these the AC eggs?

Oh no! Are you sure? How do you know? This is what I'm worried about! My cockerel just started mating and I only cracked one egg and it looked fertile to me....

I HEARD THAT!

Oh my goodness! So cute!

You guys are so good!! Every time I was going to quote something, the answer soon followed! Awesome advice on this thread! I'm getting excited about setting! It finally sank in. I'm just nervous about fertility, pullet eggs, and I'm only getting 1-2 eggs every other day, so I'm worried they will be too old. But all I can do is try and see what happens, right??

Anyone care to explain the penny to me? (side note: my new buff Ameraucana is named penny)

I couldn't wait. I had to set a quail egg this evening. If everything goes right, it'll hatch Christmas eve night.

SWEET!
