Does anyone have an idea why a hen that is obviously being bred, in a run where other bred hens are laying fertile eggs, is only laying eggs that are not fertile?
In 3 batches I incubated all the eggs of one hen were fertile and none of the eggs of the other were not. I incubated a fairly even split of about a dozen eggs each over a 3 month period.
The ‘not’ hen is 2 years old as it the other one. There has been no known anatomical change such as injury or over weight. There is only one rooster in that run.
Both hens were fertile last year.
