Dear d********d,

Hi Oz, I'm sorry but I just dropped the carton with your eggs while I was getting them ready to be shipped. I won't be able to send you any now. I can cancel your purchase or I can send you the eggs either Wednesday or next Monday (depending on availability). Please let me know what you would prefer.

My black cochin bantam eggs still aren't fertile. I'm assuming that the cockerel must be infertile.

In the last batch, I removed 1 with a blood ring. The egg was infertile, it didn't freeze, it didn't crack, it wasn't shipped, but it still developed a blood ring. It must have been bacteria.

My two eggs that had blood rings weren't shipped either, but when I opened them, I could see the yolk had burst. Id like to discuss this further with you to get the details together, of that's okay with you. How do you know yours was infertile?
(I also think maybe you and I are talking about two different things,. I've seen some pictures where the egg developed a dark spot on the side, and the person labeled that as a blood ring egg.i had one like this, that turned into a stinker..definitely bacterial. The ones I'm talking about is when you can see the blood around the diameter of the egg. Blood does not just mysteriously appear in an egg, an embryo must form in order for blood to be contained inside the egg, from my understanding anyway. Also, the websites I've read say that blood ring eggs come from eggs that did start to develop I.e.metzers for one.)

as for your cochin, don't some cochin need their vent feathers trimmed in order to "make contact"? Could that be what's giving you fertility issues?

So sorry Oz, anywhere else you can get them on short notice?

The yolk was still in tact. I located the ovum on the yolk and there wasn't a bull's eye. I know how to tell a fertile egg from an infertile egg.

There was a dark red ring that had formed around the shell. It grew each day of incubation.

Did you candle the eggs before you began incubating them? Perhaps your yolks could have burst because of bacteria.


As far as the cochins go, I trimmed their butt fluff last month. It didn't work, so I began artificially inseminating. The eggs still aren't fertile.

He mounts her all the time, but nothing I've tried has worked. At this point I'm assuming that he's infertile.
