Hi guys I got a pekin bantam who has been jumping on pretty all of my hens iv never seen this in any eggs before he came, would you say this was a fertilised egg that could have went on to be a hatchling given the propper care? I’m positive this was from my coral nick hen.

No, that's not the bullseye they talk about for fertilized eggs. Even when you do have them it's not clear cut that you're seeing it.

I know what your talking about now iv had a few with the bulls eye I got a pic of one tonight in macs dinner bowl.

Maybe on the white dot on the lower left. It's not really easy to tell if it is or not and almost impossible over the net.

I’m going to make a small incubator and see how some of the crosses come out, it’s really the black aracuana crosses I want to see and there eggs should be blue/green depending on the cross. I get a really big stage coming I’m going to convert it gives me a lot more space I need to clear it out and move it to my place.

 

[robin416]

Wait a minute, back up. Is that the stage in the pic? Are you turning that into a coop for the birds?

Is your wife still talking to you?

Thank you 😊 yeah me too she’s pretty bad with it.
I got another little fairy egg today second one iv had so far this ones smaller than the other one

 

[robin416]

OK, if you really have to do it. This one probably doesn't have a yolk in it. Unless your coins are monster sized.

Did you show it to your wife? She might not let you do anything to it.

Your right it didn’t have a yolk this one, nah it’s not that big of a coin I don’t know what size yours are either to compare them, yeah I showed her she thinks thier cool but doesn’t mind me giving them to Mac.

I have a couple of pics might give you a better perception of its size.

[robin416]

Is that a Cuckoo Silkie? I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

Such a tiny egg. Especially if most of those are bantam eggs.

Yeah she is a cuckoo silkie she’s doing well sitting on her clutch of eggs.

 

[robin416]

Do you know about candling? You might want to do that with her eggs in a week or so to see if she's actually on fertile eggs.

Yeah iv been looking into it, my friend has a clutch that’s 6days from hatching so he came along and helped me today from what we can see she’s sitting on 7 fertile eggs, thier a mix of the hyline and bovan nera hens, both caught bye my lavender pekin bantam. I’m going to use the aracuana roo I have to cross with the black maran and leghorn hens for some colourful eggs.

 

[robin416]

Your boys are getting the job done then. That didn't take long at all.

Next I'll be watching for chick pics.
