Hatching is ok.  None in that picture is a roo.  What else you got?  I kinda feel like that thing can be in eggs and that if there is a WHITE part in that it is fertile.  I will would have to look at one and I don't have fertile egg here.

You don't have any fertile eggs? Now, why do I find that hard to believe? Lol. My only other option is a roo that was born 12/20, I would imagine it's too early for him! Idk, maybe they are not fertile

I am at home. I don't have any fertile eggs here.... unless my mother has some downstairs. I can't eat too many fertile eggs they upset my stomach. Don't know why, I can eat one a day with a store egg but if I do that too much I get sick. We have a friend and he is just the opposite.... he gets sick over store eggs LOL. REALLY sick.... quick too.

I don't know!!!! 7 month old EE. No crowing, red comb but no eggs, won't squat for me, uniform coloring. I have seen "her" mount one of my hens, but this can be dominance too, right? What do you think?

I hatched a marans roo last year that grew up looking like a girl so i researched, and i found it was called a henny roo!!! and they do exist.. Anyway i don't know how it turned out in the end because i sold him along with all the other roos.. i don't remember him crowing but you could eventually tell he was a roo but you had to work at it.

No wonder you are always selling your eggs, I was wondering how often you ate them. Weird how sensitive we are to certain foods.

Yeah, I guess it would happen. I wonder if it was fertile....

I just got the flock out of there.

Goose, Muscovy, Pekin, Turkey, Large Fowl, Banties and some Chukar were set along with 40 local eggs to act as a control.

Add those to the 160 local eggs and the mega bator is almost at capacity.


Quail should start hatching any day.

Busy times across the Pacific.

if I had 19 kids I might could eat them. I get about 4 doz eggs a day and most are not laying still. I have to sell some. it pays for feed that is it.
