Quote: Hey Mike! Thanks for joining this controversy! No, these aren't your eggs. Your eggs, as well as some ameraucana eggs from Pips&Peeps, went into the bator yesterday...so I've got a few days to go before candling them. This was the first batch of eggs that I've ever removed from...

Thanks speckledhen and poulets. I appreciate all of the opinions I am receiving. Basically, what it boils down to, is whether these eggs were fertile to begin with. And I'm sure that both parties involved will remain to see things differently. Since the eggs were not scrambled by the po...

If that's the case, now another question ... Will x-ray cause the fertility ring to fade/disappear, or will it still be present, just no development?

Thanks for that pic, msbear. I didn't even find that in the eggs. As I said above, I was told it could have been on the underside of the yolk. So if it were on the underside of the yolk where I didn't look, then either the eggs were infertile or something else (like x-rayed)?

Ok, here's some pics. The first pic is of one of the eggs candled the 6th night. The second pic is of one of the opened egg at day 7. I know these pics aren't the greatest, and probably won't help much, but maybe they'll give even a little insight into this mystery. I've also been told that...

Quote: Exactly...a lot of possibilities, I know. I'm just trying to learn a little more about fertility, and what should be present in a 7 day old fertile egg.

That's exactly what I was looking for, but didn't find, in any of the eggs. I'm going to upload some pics and see if anyone finds what I'm apparently missing.

Quote: Nope, no bullseye in any of the eggs. But the person I got them from doesn't think it possible that these eggs are infertile. I'm just trying to clarify what's wrong with the eggs, because I know it's not how they've been incubated or handled. But regardless, by day 7, IF the eggs...

Being rather new at hatching eggs, I've just had an experience that I haven't found any info about on BYC. Is it possible for FERTILE eggs, upon candling at day 6, to have no embryonic development and no veins/blood vessels? The yolk themselves are intact, as I opened them to check them out on...
