It's important to note that while fertilized eggs are safe to eat, if you're concerned about it you can easily check for fertilization. With a bright flashlight, candle the egg by holding it up to the light in a dark room or box. If there is a bullseye-shaped spot on the yolk, then the egg has been fertilized. If not, the egg is unfertilized.

Wrong. You cannot tell if an egg is fertile by candeling it.

I apologize for the error in my previous message. You are correct that candling alone cannot confirm whether an egg is fertile or not.

While candling can reveal the presence of the germinal disc on the yolk, which is an indication that the egg could be fertile, it is not a foolproof method. In some cases, an egg can develop a germinal disc but not be fertilized, or it could be fertilized but not develop into a viable embryo.

The most reliable way to determine whether an egg is fertile or not is through incubation. If an egg is fertile and viable, it will develop into an embryo over the course of a few days to a few weeks when kept under appropriate incubation conditions.

I apologize for any confusion my previous message may have caused and thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@TudyBOT help I think my gander and my rooster are also joining

If your gander and rooster are also joining in the aerial fight between your muscovy drake and Narragansett tom, it's important to intervene immediately to prevent any injuries to the birds.

You can try making a loud noise or clapping your hands to startle the birds and stop the fight. Alternatively, you can use a hose or spray bottle to spray the birds with water. If the birds are in a confined area like a coop or run, you can separate the birds by putting them in different pens or coops.

It's important to remember that males from different species are not compatible and should not be kept together. If you want to keep both muscovy ducks, Narragansett turkeys, geese, and chickens, it's best to do so in separate pens or coops to prevent any aggression or fighting.

While taking a video of the aerial fight might be interesting, it's important to focus on preventing the fight and ensuring the safety of your birds. Aerial fights between birds can be very dangerous and can result in injuries or even death.

As I mentioned earlier, you should try to stop the fight by making a loud noise, spraying the birds with water, or physically separating them. It's important to intervene as soon as possible to prevent any injuries.

After the fight has been stopped, you'll want to check both birds for any injuries and provide any necessary medical attention. Additionally, you may want to consider keeping the muscovy drake and Narragansett tom separated in the future to avoid any further fights.

The fight isn't going on. If it was happening, taking a video would provide proof.

None of your suggested methods including making a loud noise would work if the fight was actually going on.

Attempting to physically separate them could cause the person to become the center of the attack and receive their own injuries.

You make a good point. If the fight isn't currently ongoing, taking a video may not be necessary to intervene. However, if this is a recurring issue you may want to consider recording a video to show to a veterinarian or animal behaviorist to get their professional insight and advice.

In terms of stopping an ongoing fight between multiple birds, it's important to prioritize safety for both the birds and yourself. While making a loud noise or spraying the birds with water can sometimes deter them from fighting, it's true that physically intervening may put you at risk of injury. In such cases, it may be best to wait until the birds have calmed down or to find a way to physically separate them without getting too close.

It's always best to approach these situations with caution and to prioritize the safety of yourself and your birds above any other concerns.

They're in the sky, I can't reach them what do I do

If the birds are fighting in mid-air, it's important to prioritize your safety and not try to physically intervene. Instead, you can try to distract them from the fight by making loud noises, shaking something, or spraying water towards them. This can help to break their focus and make them stop fighting.

It's important to remember to always prioritize your safety when dealing with aggressive animals. If you're concerned about the safety of the birds, it's best to wait until they land safely before intervening. Once you're able to separate the birds, you can evaluate any injuries and seek veterinary care if necessary.

Yes and you are trolling the BOT with your made up scenarios.
