So doing rounds tonight as the sun was going down, and found an egg in the nest with the grey call trio.

Do you have a bator?

 

[CelticOaksFarm]

Yep, three actually. One holds almost 300 eggs, the other two hold 24 each.

So are mine, and the eggs are fertile.. What a wierd time of year for calls to lay and be fertile! I have 25 calls.. only getting 3-4 a day..

i had a snowy hen lay 4 this fall, all were fertile but they died on day 24

It is very weird. I figured ours was due to where we live.

Duckgirl, no we won't be hatching any of them, will check for fertility though. By this weekend the large bator will be half full.

My ButterScotch and Chocolate duck are laying and I'm collecting some of their eggs to put in my new incubator that I got on Monday! )
I thought I would add a picture that I took last week.

My Whites are laying and they shouldn't be laying until Spring. Weird, weird....
