I candled the cuckoo lemon orpington/bresse eggs tonight and I see 5 filling in, out of 14 eggs. I took out 9, at least I got chance to hatch a few. I also candled 2 eggs from a batch of 9 australorp/bresse. One was fertile and one wasn't. I started them a few days after the lemon orpington batch, so I'll check them and remove the unfertile eggs in a couple days.
I am surprised to see fertile eggs, the males just started jumping on the hens, so they can start early. This answers one of my questions about how old they need to be.
