Are these fertalized?

Are these eggs fertile?

It looks it. A better picture would be good though--that one's slightly blurry.

Sorry I wish I had better photos but I already ate the egg

Not exactly the fate you want to see a fertile egg meet.

Fertile or infertile, they ought to taste the same.

I'm interested to see what people say - I'm just learning about 'bullseye' dots for fertile eggs. That just looks like... a dot to me.

Yea I know but I didn’t know for sure and it didn’t exactly look fertil I was just wondering if it was, and the only method of finding out for sure if it was fertil or not was to crack it open. I heard that you could candle the egg but people would say completely different things so I just cracked it open with breakfast and I’ve only seen that two of our hens could possibly be fertile so I didn’t want to start collecting unless I knew for sure they were fertile.

I’m just learning too so I kind of was sceptical if it was but I just wanted to check with others who are more experienced than I am at this.

Hard to say for sure from your pictures, sometimes it can be very subtle. I assume you have a rooster, which is why you are wondering? If you are wondering because you want to hatch eggs, then candling some after about a week of incubation is the way to determine for sure. https://poultrykeeper.com/incubating-and-hatching-eggs/candling-eggs/ ( you can search for lots more candling images).
If you are wondering based on consuming them, and differences, then there is no difference in taste or anything else, as long as they are collected every day. Refrigeration stops any development in the egg.
