Setting Eggs

[Ma Noob]

When people are setting eggs, do you wait and see if they are fertilised first? Or do you just pop them in and see what happens?

If you do wait to see if they are fertilised, what is the best way of going about it?

IM looking to put some more eggs in a friends incubator, but i dont want to give her a bunch of duds

there are no special time to set eggs, whenever to set it is gonna be Ok. as I know you can't know if the are fertilized or not first, you have to put it in the incubator then after 4 days when you candle them you are gonna know which is fertile which is not.just put your eggs in the incubator .

candling eggs in best way to watch the embryo development .

make your own as my advice.

only way to find out if they are fertilized IS to incubate them. without cracking them open that is

Hi

Had the eggs already been developing when you cracked it open? How did you know it was fertile?
