Hi, I'm a new (5 months) chicken owner. My girls just started laying eggs, there doesn't seem to be a roo in the bunch. My eggs seem fertilized, they have the bullseye and all. OK I'm going to sound like an idiot asking but does there have to be a roo to fertilize the eggs? Do I actually have a roo after all? How does it all work with getting the eggs fertilized? Do chickens actually get it on? Lol

Thank you :)
 
Yes it only is fertile if there is a rooster it would help also if you could send a picture of the egg. This is my hens fertile egg. So if your hen lays a egg like this that mean for sure you have a rooster.
or the whole flock would help determine.

X2 however there will be a circle but it has to be a bullseye to actually show that it is fertilized, store bought ones are about 45 days old when they hit the store so you can't see the circle any more.
 
Well yes And no I have A Roo with my Hens and when he mates the yolk has A Small dark little dot that's kind of red and not white that's a normal chicken Egg
