I have 2 female Pekins and 1 khaki Campbell drake. I have seen them mating many times over the past 3 -4 week
I have incubated 10 eggs and after 7-10 days there was no growth in the eggs
I had cracked open some from the lot and I thought they looked fertile but maybe I was wrong
They took a few days break from laying eggs and have started again the past week so here is a picture of one from yesterday I opened
Any help will be much appreciated:)

I would say that is a much better test than trying to guess from the appearance of a cracked egg.

I can tell a fertile egg when I candle after a week of incubation, but so far I have completely failed to tell by cracking eggs (unincubated) & looking at them.
