are these eggs good to hatch?

[pefferlawchicken]

my black astrolope has been laying for about a week and i have saved everyone of her eggs because they are good looking and i want to hatch them. Will they be fertalized ? my rooster mounts her a few times a day but im just making suree if im good to try and hatch them.

go for it. You won't know until you try.

Have you cracked one open to check to see if it is fertile?

Look at this, it'll help.

Go ahead and try.

Some may say though to wait a month or two until the eggs are a bit larger. Larger eggs mean more food for the growing baby, and older birds are more developed, thus a greater chance of healthy lively chicks.

put them in the bator. go for it. why not? incubating has so many do's and dont's and of course you have no control over mother nature anyway, so just do it . i just wouldn't incubate any over 10 days. good luck.

try it and you will know.
