Fertile Eggs?

[warren86]

Can I tell if my eggs are fertile after getting them from the coop or do I need to incubate them a couple of days to really be able to know 100%?

How many roosters to hens do you have? One roo is capable of "servicing" ten hens easily, and often times more. If you have one roo and just a few hens, you can bet your eggs are fertile. You can also break open a couple to check your fertility. Here's a great thread on what to look for. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/16008/how-to-tell-a-fertile-vs-infertile-egg-pictures

Yep. You could actually get rid of one roo and still be fine. Sounds like the roos are doing their jobs. (The others are probably mating too, just less frequently and not when your top roo is looking!) If you're getting nice quality eggs from your girls, you'll probably get some chicks out of your eggs!
