Place it in a pan of water, if it floats it is old.Crack the egg open, see if it looks and smells fresh.

Especially since I made the newbie mistake of having no clue about the breeder I ordered eggs of eBay from, so mine are almost certainly realated... I do notice that the red breasted act dominant. I have seen him chasing my silver red breasted (Quinn).If there's an egg, those aren't male.
It's possible one of them has a chromosome defect or other genetic quirk that causes it to appear male. How do they both act?
It's also theoretically possible that one of them is intersex. It may have both a working egg-producing structure, and a working testicle that releases enough male sex hormone for it to feather out as if it's a male.
That, or someone is pranking you.

I'll try that! Does water temperature matter?Place it in a pan of water, if it floats it is old.
Just use cold water right out of the spigot. If the egg is fresh, it will sink to the bottom of the pan. The older the egg is the higher it will float in the water.I Know I am not being pranked.
