All eggs have the little disk thingie.  What you're looking for specifically for fertile eggs is the disk thingie will look like an O or a bullseye.  It's a very distinct ring, not just a solid circle.  

If you do a search, I know they have tutorials and photos somewhere on this BYC that have good examples of what you're looking for.

If you may have to eat it, don't name it!

Good luck smile.png I love my little TJ hens and roos.

I'm hoping something happens in the next couple of days.  Some veins and stuff.  Otherwise they will become dog food. The laws just changed here effective the 1st of next month.  I went from being able to own 6 chickens to 10 chickens.  :)  I currently have 5 and have room for more then a dozen.  My neighbors love watching them free range in my yard.  Especially when my pullets chase the dogs away from a raw beef bone LOL.    My dogs know chickens rule around here.

Thanks for the pictures, "what did I do"! Love the one on the cartons.. Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but is that a roo or a hen? I mean, once mature, the hens get large combs too so...?. My amiture guess is hen due to small wattle?. Mine are 2 weeks old on Tuesday and I really miss them as I'm away. Hubby is keeping me updated on their cuteness, er, I mean progress, but I miss them so!. I can't wait to get home again sad.png. They're our first chicks/chickens! Gosh. I wish they could all be hens! fl.gif

"Little Big Comb" is only 2 months old and has the biggest comb of all of them . "He" has to be a rooster and a few minutes he will be the head rooster. He is starting to take very good care of the girls. I hope he stays nice so we can keep him.

Cool, a boy! I bet he'd stay nice if you keep socializing him, at least I hope so! My husband and children tell me ours are turning white! No more yellow fuzz sad.png I can't wait to do another batch of eggs lol.png

I was really bummed today. They just opened a Trader Joe's about an hour from us. We made the trek down there, only to find out that they don't carry fertile eggs sad.png
