These are all 8 days old. I don't think they're developing, but I want to be sure... Tell me what you think!

On day 8 you would definitely see some veins in there.. none are fertile.

! I have 4 hens in with one roo! He's only 2 too! The only hens I've seen him mate with are the 2 I didn't take the eggs from... Is it him or the hens?

If he’s not mating with the others then it’s probably him. I don’t think there is anything physically wrong with him though just... they can’t be fertile if he’s not mating with them! Lol try collecting from the others and see if those ones are fertile. Not sure how to encourage him to mate with the others, maybe someone else will have insight on that.

At this point I expect some veins, so no I do not think they are fertile. Possibly some veining in the last one but I'm not sure.

Have you checked for fertility before incubation? Crack an egg open and look for a white spot. If it's a bullseye then it's fertile, just a dot is infertile. I'd check every egg before I cook them, just to get an idea of how well the roosters doing his job.

I checked today and it was a dot with a really faint half circle... Maybe I should separate his 2 favourite hens out for a day and let him settle for the ones I want to hatch from....
