@Fur-N-Fowl how is the quail doing?
most likely the time of year, a week or 2 before flock gets ready to molt fertilitay rate drops big time as rooster molts with them and until they all complete it won't get many fertile eggsI have a question about Leghorns.. I just candled my third Leghorns eggs and it seems again they are all infertile. What is with this breed? I have been trying to hatch Leghorns, bought eggs from 3 different suppliers so far and NONE of them was fertile. Is it the breed or the time of the year (approaching winter and getting cold)? All these 3 suppliers have roosters, I have seen them...
Congratulations!!!From the photo I was sent, it appears to have really scrunched up feet due to it being stuck in the egg. Depending on what it's like tomorrow, I may make it some shoes!
So now all have hatched and I have 8 Silkies and 1 Quail!

Oh, I didn't know that. The last flock that I bought the eggs from is mooting.. so the fertility drops before and during molting???most likely the time of year, a week or 2 before flock gets ready to molt fertilitay rate drops big time as rooster molts with them and until they all complete it won't get many fertile eggs
