I know this probably sounds stupid!!

I have two female pekins , one blue swedefemale, and a blue swede drake. Will all the eggs possibly be fertile? I was told they only mate in water and probably wont be fertile until I put the big pool back out for them as soon as it warms up enough not to freeze solid. Also will the pekins eggs possible fertile considering the size of my drake compared to them/ Thanks

It is highly likely that all of the eggs will be fertile, pool or no pool.


Good luck........

Water facilitates breeding but generally is not absolutely necessary. Most likely all of the hens are being bred; therefore, their eggs will be fertile. You could always break a few and check for the 'bullseye'.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. I have cracked a few open but I am not an expert by no means. I think there is a bullseye but not 100% sure. Should I let the eggs sit out a day or so before cracking open and looking or should i be able to see the bullseye after collecting the eggs?. My ducks lay better than my chickens faithfully everyday all the females lay one egg and I collect them in the am.
