Jane : Love the Newsletter. I'm in South West UK and enjoy reading all the stories from around the world. Reference the query from Ivy regarding her Pekin boy - I have 4 lovely girls, 2 Pekin Bantams and 2 Barbu D'uccles. Lovely temperament, very tame, easy to handle and just wander into the house despite my 3 cats! As you can see from the picture one is brown (Lulu) and she is a 'Partridge' Bantam. These girls make great pets and lay well - small but very rich eggs. Jane, Wiltshire, UK

Gail : What is the difference between a fertile egg and a non fertile egg in appearance and taste?

My Reply : To spot check an egg to see if it has been fertilised crack it into a bowl and look at the yolk - there should be a small white mark somewhere on the yolk. When fertilised the small white mark becomes larger and more round and shows yellow in the middle so an egg that has been fertilised has a white mark on the yolk that looks a bit like a doughnut - in an unfertilised egg the white mark will be just a blob. I personally don't believe there is any difference in taste, but some people say there is.
