fertile test

[kostis]

Good morning to all,
Hello, I have 30 Coturnix coturnix quail in 2 quail pens, they have started to lay eggs, 3 days ago, I am planning to sell the eggs for hatch, can you tell me how I can test if the eggs are fertile???

You can incubate the eggs and try to candle them, you can break open eggs and see if there is a bullseye or not, or incubate them and see if they hatch

put them up to the light and if they have a weird spot in the interior that's how ya know

 

[kostis]

thank you very much for your answer, I 'll do the first,should I do it more than 1 time, to ensure that all eggs during breeding season would be fertile???

Hello There! Welcome to Quail, I have white coturnix japonica. so how old and what color of Quail do you have? are they ~8 wks? are they brown, white, red?

How many roos to hens do you think you have per cage?
