How to Tell a Fertile vs INfertile Egg (Pictures)

Thanks. I thought that one looked weird as well so we tossed it out.

Is there any way to know if the egg is fertile without breaking it?

Only by incubating it and checking to see if it develops.

Hi, this is a great thread! Thanks everyone for your photos. Such a wonderful resource.

I'm about to set eggs in the incubator (hopefully) for the very first time. I've cracked open an egg laid 2 days ago, and I'm pretty sure it's fertile. Can others please confirm/nor deny my suspicions.

Below are 3 photos of the same egg.

Many thanks

Is the spot the same for Goose eggs?

I have 19 hens and 2 roosters. A visitor saw the roosters and said, "Now you'll get blood spots in the eggs because of the roosters." I was worried, so I came where I knew I would find the answers. Even though I only read through page 11, I will know how to respond next time about roosters, fertile eggs, infertile eggs, and blood spots. Thanks so much.

These two eggs both had little bullseyes but I just want an opinion from someone who knows more than me!
