Bullseye, but only ones not developed on day 4??

[joyous]

I set 26 eggs on the 8th, 10 Ameraucanas from the mail, 8 pure Rose comb red dorkings I bred, and 8 eggs from my Buckeye roo crossed with a wyanndotte and chantecler hens. They all showed the spider developing except those by the Buckeye roo. I checked the eggs laid by these hens both before and after I collected the ones for the inci, and they all had the telltale bullseye, they are also his favorite hens and have been over bred if anything. Any ideas why these aren't developing? Do buckeyes take longer?

All chickens develop at the same pace (more or less) even between the large fowl and bantams.

Thats what I thought, I just can't figure out why only these who started fertile, aren't developing when the rest of them are fine. Could the rooster have some genetic problem that keeps them from developing?

I have no idea about that. Maybe someone with Buckeye experience will chime in here.
