Fertile??

[bellah1]

If one is fertile then are the chances good that the other 13 in her nest are fertile too?

 

[bellah1]

I think mine is too but will someone who knows more than me confirm it?

The picture is a little hard to see but I would be guessing yes. You want to be looking for a white circle with a dot in the middle. If you see the circle with no dot they are not fertile.

I have three in the bator and ive collected four. Should I put them in as I collect them if they were layed on different days??

YES!  Set them!! YAY!!  how many have you collected? remember to turn as you collect them!

Does this egg look fertile? I pulled it from the incubator after 1 day. Thanks for the help in advance, I am new at hatching. I have had chickens for about a year.

Oh yes, definite yes. After a day in the incubator, that central spot has grown quite extensively. Nice.

Thank you for the quick reply, this is my first time, very excited!!!

Can someone answer my question please???^^^^^^^^^^^

you can collect eggs for 7 days (just turn x3 a day keep in cool spot) you dont want different lockdown days unless you have a hatcher to hatch them in....

please refer to my notes, there is ALOT of info and some things you MUST understand to have a great hatch! start with the collection of eggs section and this will answer your questions and show you what to do!
