With my chickens we arnt always sure - but if the hen and cockeral have done their buisness ok and the hen is broody we always assume all the eggs she has layed recently could be - but it takes awhile for the embreo in the egg to develop so i would assume its ok to eat them if their freshly layed.

hope this helps

What does a fertile pheasant egg look like?

It is almost impossible to tell a fertile from an unfertile pheasant egg just by looking at it. If you hold it up in front of a bright light, in a process called candling, a fertile egg will show a dark spot inside and a network of red blood vessels within the egg.


How does your hen know the egg is fertile?

One view:She will set on them all at first, but if she doesn't feel heat coming from the egg which the growing embryo gives off, she will either throw it out of the nest or eat it. If you keep disturbing her to check, you will run the risk of upsetting her and she will leave the whole nest. Another view:She doesn't know. She will sit on infertile eggs as readily as on fertile ones. In fact, if she is in the mood, she'll sit on golf balls. Let her set on them for a week and then use a light to check to see if any thing is there.

What if your parakeet laid one egg in the nesting box does that mean it is not fetile even if you have a male and a female bird?

Well, it sort of depends. If the female is laying/sitting on the egg that might mean it is fertile, but only if she is either trained or knows how to do that. But sometimes, the egg will be fertile, but the female won't know what to do, so she won't sit on it. Also, do you let your bird mate, because if you do the egg will most likely be fertile.
