FERTILE OR NOT?

Postby peter120886 » Sun Nov 17, 2013 11:39 am

Hi all...
Just looking for some advice on that odd looking egg, do you think its fertile or not? the rest look fine but that one standing up in the foreground looks a little wierd to me.

I've seen eggs look a lot worse and hatch.

The egg looks good, it should hatch. The colour of the egg isnt too important, its plumpness is more of an indicator as to how it is doing.

Not a problem. That egg is fine.
