Are these eggs fertilized?

[JulieHei]

Hey guys! I have checked if some of my chicken and duck eggs are fertilized. I think it is very hard to tell.. I have 26 chickens and 1 rooster. I also have 2 female cayuga ducks and 2 male ducks.

Could you help me? Are these eggs fertilized?

I think this one is fertilized?

Not sure about this one?

The upper one - fertilized?

I don’t think this is fertilized.

I don’t think this is fertilized.

Two duck eggs, dont think these are fertilized?

I've never tried it, but fertilized eggs should float in water by day 3.

From the pics looks like you are on with your observations. There are those few that look wanky and the ducks I see no bullseye, so I think you have it. Do you have Drake with your duck hens?

Never heard that one.

Never heard that one.

I only have one fertilized egg and it's been in the refrigerator. So, someone else has to try it.

Thank you Yes, I have four cayugas that live together - two male and two female.. I have not seen a lot of mating lately, maybe it is too early? The weather outside the last week has been good, it’s getting warmer, the snow has almost dissappeared, and they are staying outside all day. Thought they would start to mate, but maybe I have to be more patient.
