Egg fertility
« on: September 23, 2010, 09:20 »
Apart from attempting a hatch, which I dont want too do this late in the season, is there anyway I can test if my duck eggs are fertile? I just want to know if Kevin is doing his job  ;)

when you crack open an egg, take a look at the yolk and a fertile one has a little paler circular blob on it (known as a germ cell), there are a couple of photos somewhere on here so I will try to find one for you  :)
Staffies are softer than you think.

if you look at the photo from cara you will see (ignore the flash light bit) a germ cell  :)
