Pullet eggs aren't supposed to give viable offspring. If you are serious I recommend waiting for 'real' eggs. Is this your only roo? Try using the pullet eggs in crafts.

pullet eggs are just as fertile as non pullet eggs as long as there is a roo. anna, how big are these eggs? silkie sized or really little?

Hmmmm, I have never seen a silkie egg, so I dont really know. Though, there was a lady visiting here the other day that used to have a silkie and she said hers used to lay the same size. I could take a picture of one next to one of our barred rock eggs, but like I said they lay really large eggs. Let me think about what I could put next to it for size reference...

set it next to a quarter. they are about that wide or slightly larger and longer then the quarter.by say 1 and 1/4- 1 1/2.

I read a thread that said they didn't hatch out or hatched inferior offspring that died young.

ok,
so here is a last ditch effort before dh culls my boys.
I have a blue wheaten ameraucana roo that has had his beard picked by the hens, nice to people and never aggressive to my kids, free
lav split visual black with gold leakage triple tufted rumpless araucana roo, been alone but never attacks through his fencing and avoids us when we go in, free
cream legbar roo, missing tail feathers from fighting with another roo, kids carry him around, never been aggressive. blue egg gene, free


blue isbar roo, flighty breed but not aggressive, they try to avoid us


these will all be culled tomorrow

so if I can get any takers it would be great

also, still have the hens that are 2 years old, 2 russian orloff, 2 chocolate oegb, 3 blue ameraucana(not good blue eggs color, but still blueish), $20? obo

I have also decided to get rid of my silver sussex hen and lav orp hen, both a year old $20 for both, both from greenfire

KLF73, Where are you located? I would rehome the Blue Wheaten Ameracuana Roo.
