Infertile Drake?

[Miss Lydia]

ok thanks for the help. I will decide today what to do about splitting them up

Can you post pics of your drake? and I'd go ahead and move your girls if you can split the eggs and girls so each has a nest? might work out of one may just give up then you can move eggs back under the one who is determined.

I did crack the last ones but havent done these yet. I have 2 mama's on the nest now together and separated them from the drake and another female who doesnt seem to be laying so they are left alone. I will take one and try to candle it. I do have 5 in the incubator and when candling them dont seem to see what other pix say I should be seeing.

What day? under duck and bator?

THey both have been on the nest full time and are not laying from what I can tell. They seem to be taking turns getting off the nest for a few minutes just a couple times a day at most. They really havent left the nest for over 10 days + now at least. Should I take one of them out and just leave the one on it? Also, my drake has very little caruncle from what I was expecting. I had thought he would have more pronounced than the females but he has the least of all of them. Didnt know if that might be an indicator of his maturity and fertility or not

it sounds like a mule to me ( if there was a picture i could make a better choice ) but from what you have said of no feritlity and even less of a cruncle than your females it sounds like a mule

but that's not neccesarily bad even if he is a mule they still make wonderful pets

I agree, a picture is needed.
