One can only be sure of the fertility of the egg after 10 days of incubation.

Hi Carl. Give it time. As BB said about 10 days after it is laid only then should it be able to told if it is infertile or fertile. If it is fertile an dyou don't mind touching the eggs, I would recommend transfering it to another pair that already have eggs, and let the pair start fresh. Let us know how you go  Nicola |

Provide her with extra calcium and keep an eye on her.

Egg binding is not so much an egg problem, except in a over large egg situation. It 's more a general fitness to breed problem. Cal deficiency wouldn't affect the egg as any shortfall is taken from the hens own body. Yours B.J. |
