Gorgeous girl, thanks for posting the photos! I'm still at odds with my eggs as I have 5 chickens who sometimes all lay in the same day. No males. Not sure why my eggs appear as if they are fertile.

I don't how they could possibly be fertile. No chickens or roosters anywhere near that I have seen (other than my own). I live in a suburban neighborhood so I can't imagine not noticing one come into my yard. I threw a few eggs in the incubator Monday and nothing grew.

Did you post any photos? I would love to see. Yay! Congratulations on the eggs! And thank you. :)

A photo of my eggs so far this week. I can distinguish between the eggs as they are all consistent in size and have witnessed which ones were laying when. I couldn't be more confused at why they look fertilized. I have three eggs in my incubator to "see what happens". I will update...

A few current shots of my flock... The Golden Laced (what, I don't know) and the Brown Leghorn. The New Hampshire Red and the Brown Leghorn. Any idea which breed this golden laced pullet is? She was sold to me as a "Wyandotte" but by her comb, she is not. :)

I'm going to throw a few eggs in the incubator next week and see what happens.

Update! My Easter Egger has finally proven herself to be a lady. She laid her first egg! Which means if my eggs are in fact fertile, the girls would have to have been fertilized three months ago by my frizzle roo. How is this possible? Here is a photo of her egg!

I did have a roo, but that was about 3 months ago and he was only a few months old.

As long as the EE stays friendly and doesn't bother the neighbors it has a home! ;) I wish I had the space! I only have one coop as of yet.

Oh yes, get some! I believe mine has squatted for me before, but maybe it was my imagination.

Got some new photos tonight, one up close of the comb. Tell me what you think!

Oh man! I would have never guessed! I just couldn't get past those yolks. This is accidental roo #2 for us. And unfortunately both have been my youngest's pets. Hope she takes this well, but as long as he stays quiet...wait a minute, they never do, do they? :P

I took this photo yesterday...

I live in a neighborhood where there aren't any other chickens nearby and mine are "contained". I would be so surprised if the EE is a roo. Gabby to Gabriel? Lol

No, not a chance. So there is no doubt that these eggs are fertilized?

Ummm, I am not aware that I have a roo. I am completely sure that 4 out of 5 are laying, and the only one not laying is an EE who is at the bottom of the pecking order, has no redness on her comb, and there has been no crowing. I've also seen no mounting.

I thought I knew what a "fertilized" egg looked like, but as I have been enjoying our freshly laid eggs from my new flock of 6 month old pullets, it seems as if I were completely wrong. I have read here on BYC that a fertilized egg has a "ring" encircling the white circle. Is this not true...
