Ive been breeding and raising Bourbon Reds as a hobby for the past 3 years and for some reason this year all of the eggs from our first batch were blank. I candled them on Day 17 and no development whatsoever. I even cracked a few open to be sure and nothing. I also have some sweetgrass turkey eggs that I got from eBay in the same incubator that started on the same day and they seem to be doing well. 4/6 of them are developing.
I have 6 hens to one tom. The tom is only 3 years old. I’ve see him mount the hens all the time like usual. My hatch rates were pretty solid last year. The only change I’ve made was giving them way more space to range in our old horse pasture.
I really hope I don’t have to replace our Tom he’s super tame and treats his ladies well. If anyone has any insight or advice it would be greatly appreciated.
