I have a couple of eggs that have been in the incubater for about a month, I candled it and it showed nothing. The eggs look fine, no mold or anything. Is it possible they are infertile?
Thanks, Chris

well dont take a chance,
incubate EVERYTHING. hehe
I had situations where I had eggs that I knew were infertile but I incubated them anyway. But they always rott if they are infertile, should happen within 3 weeks.

I've had infertile eggs not rot. I've actually had infertile eggs maintain their shape, color and texture up until I piped them to see if there was anything inside (only fluids). These eggs even grew, as a normal fertile egg would. I've had about 3 of these since the beginning of the season... But my season actually started back in early september and is just now starting to find down... Sooo I guess 3 of 100 - 150 isnt that bad... 
Hope this helps,

Guess I'll have to wait and see.
