we keep our bo ladies in a pen all to themselves, there is no roo in there, and now since there is 3 feet of snow on the ground, they dont like to try to walk in it, (i wonder why) so we do not let them out of the run. everyone is locked up, everyone. so why did i get a couple eggs with bullseye marks? can something else cause that ? am i just stupid and dont know that other things unrelated to fetilization cause bullseyes?
when i cracked them into the pot to make scrambled eggs i was on the phone to a lady i know and suggested that maybe one of the wild turkeys is getting in the coop, since the snow caved one part of the run roof in and left a gap in the fencing of the bo run. but turkeys and chickens dont breed. so whats up, is this chicken immaculate conception from a nun-chicken or what?
 
Fertile eggs can be laid up to a month after mating. Was there a roo in with them earlier?
 
wow...a month? i did not know that........seriously? a month...that would be cutting it close, but maybe that may be it....................... they normally have no roo at all ever, but it is possible that while out before the snow , any number of people under age 11 could have let other birds out iadvertantly . i dont know...seems a stretch , but maybe?

We've had fertile eggs at a little over a month, it's very possible.
