I am confused

Welcome to BYC!!
The first egg looks fertilized but you never know.

I do have make quail which means I do get fertile eggs and it's still tricky telling which quail eggs are fertile and which are not. The best way to tell is to stick them in the incubator.

okay thank you, do you have any incubator recommendations?

While looking at homemade incubators, I saw this website but I am unsure if it actually works. I would be curious to try it though.

I was just looking up some ideas. Sticker shock hit me! Some people make their own from scratch. I do like the idea of the small ones that hatch 7-10 eggs.
Do you have anyone that hatched egg that you could borrow their incubator?

If anyone has any duck incubator recommendations could you please tell me?

I have heard that you can incubate eggs by using a wet cloth, plastic bin, and a normal desk light. Someone on here did it, and the eggs actually started to develop! Those eggs look very fertile to me, there could be wild ducks fertilizing you hens eggs. You never know. Let me see if I can find the link!

Hello Motherof2. Is it important to know if the eggs are fertilised? Do you eant to hatch ducks? Or is it just curiosity?

I have 2 female Cayuga ducks and they both have just started laying. So far they have laid 5 eggs. But 2 of their eggs appear to be fertile. If anybody has an idea about what’s going on please tell me.

Update this morning they laid another one with the bullseye
So far 3 out of 6 eggs have had it
