Fertilized eggs?

[Kdlevesque]

We recently took in a five month old Cochin cockerel. He is doing very well with my girls and although I haven’t seen him mating with them, I suspect that he is because it looks like we are starting to get fertile eggs. He is such a sweet boy and has already taken charge of his flock. My question is...Is this a fertilized egg or is it just wishful thinking?

It does look like a fertile egg. Although the glare makes it hard to be sure.

Thank you! I’m pretty sure he will make beautiful babies!

Yup, fertile!

Yay!

Yay!

Have fun hatching! A tip is that you will not want to hatch eggs from layers that recently started laying.

He’s a total gentleman to his ladies right now and he has 8 girls so I’m hoping that’s enough and that he maintains his good demeanor. I’m not sure when he mates with them because he never does it in front of me.

Well that’s a really good sign. Not seeing or hearing them means you hens are happy to oblige him.
