If the ee's are all pullets..... And I have a fertilized egg......

[wyo-helpmeet]

So I got my first egg & it was fertilised ..... I asked you guys which of my ee's was a boy ..... Apparently my ee's are girls, and I have a fertilised egg, so maybe one of my standards has been a quiet one & been fooling me all this time?

Would one of these be a boy? My pics were coming out crappy because most of the little feathered friends were following me so closely. Every time I walk out you can practically hear them scream- FOOD & up they come running LOL, not to mention it was just beginning to get dark.

These were the best clear pics I could get of my "girls." I have 4 more that I need to get good pics of. So as I can, I'll get more taken & loaded of the others:

The Buff in question:

The only BR I have:

One of my RIR's:

These all look like girls to me??? All of your EE's did too.

And see, these are my most "roo-ish" looking ones..... 4 to go. Thank you so much for being patient with me. When I go to lock them up for the night, I'll try to get pics of the last 4 (3 more BOS's & a RIR).

don't know when you got your birds, but they can keep laying fertilized eggs for a while after being taken away from the roo

Agreed - these 3 look like pullets. I went back to your EE page to see if they were really girls and after seeing them, I agree with all the others there too - your EEs are also pullets.

I got rid of the 2 roos about 2 months ago.

hummm, emaculate conception

Or you have one sneaking out late at night to go see her boy friend........dang teens

Yep, those are all girls! I've never heard of it lasting 2 months...they usually say 2-3 weeks. 4 is a stretch. Maybe he was a super roo?

I've heard of hens being fertile a month after not being with a roo. I wonder if 2 months is possible?

Was that your ferilized egg I saw in a post earlier today??? If it was you got a roo somewhere or one sneaking in while you are not looking.

Here is a great thread on how to tell if an egg is fertile.
