What the HE-two sticks am I looking at???

[MuskokaChick]

I have 2 silkie hens laying, and a Rooster crowing his head off...I am letting them collect and the two hens are taking turns sitting...

They were off of them this afternoon and I tried candling them (homemade gadget) and all the eggs (the oldest one is 11 days old) Look exactly the same...

I am going to assume this means they are not fertilized????

help?

Your assumption is right sorry

 

[MuskokaChick]

So do I take these eggs away?

The oldest being 11 days (are they still good for eating???) or do I throw them out...seeing I don't know which was was just laid...

 

[chicmom]

Yep, you're right. Infertile.......

To be absolutely certain.. I believe you can crack one or two open and see if there's the "bullseye" on the yolk.

 

[MuskokaChick]

And the bullseye means????

 

[MuskokaChick]

I cracked 4 open...and 2 yokes were perfect...nothing on them. I cracked another 2 and this is what I saw...????

Not fertile. This egg was candled at day 10. Click on the image to view video.
