I thought I was sure I was getting mostly(if not all) fertile eggs from my flock of guineas. But now I’m second guessing myself. I swear I saw a blood spot with veins once on an egg I had let sit out for a bit before refrigerating. And I thought these looked like they had bullseyes.
Can you guys help?
These are two different eggs that were laid a week apart.
I just found out that 8 I had been incubating had no development what so ever. I don’t really want to setup my kids and myself for disappointment if our eggs aren’t even fertilized. I was planning on setting up a new batch by the weekend.
If it makes a difference my guineas are just shy of a year old. I got them in May of last year. And I have seen the males mount the females. A couple females have some missing feathers from mating. They starting laying eggs last fall and stopped for a couple of months during the winter.
