My husband keeps telling me not to feed him the fertile ones. What is with that? Are city people really that squeamish about eating fertile eggs? I figure what he doesn't know won't hurt him. Practically all the eggs he's eaten from our two banty hens have been fertile. lau

All yolks have the white spot- the blastocyst. I don't see the bullseye though, doesn't look fertile to me.

Count the campfires by glowing flames, never by the ashes that fall. Count your days by the golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count the nights by stars, not by shadows. Count your life by smiles, not by tears. And with joy on every birthday, count your age by friends-not years.

X2. This is just where you would see the bullseye if there was one. It looks like a bright white dot with a definite ring around it. Sorry.
