Am I crazy? Does this look fertile to you?

[speckledhen]

You don't have any roosters in that bunch. Not one has pointy saddles or the "rooster look". Some eggs can fool you and look fertile when they aren't, though it doesn't happen often. I've had EE and Ameraucana roosters, trust me. Yours are all hens.

LOL on the incognito part...a random chicken perched on the roof isnt at all conspicuous!

I just wanted to add, sometimes the first few eggs can appear fertile but really arent. I cant explain why it is but I know from my flock, I opened and inspected the first eggs from all of my girls and almost all of them had bullseyes like this. Absolutely no chance of them being fertil as I hatched and reared the pullets in my home and living in the middle of the city there are no roos anywhere around.

I agree. Chewy is not a roo.

Her fourth hen is right behind Chewey in one picture and obviously a RIR or NHR hen by the tail.

ok...I cracked open another egg. This one is from a different chicken too.

What do you guys think? This looks fertile, doesn't it?

Hmm... Im not good at telling whether eggs are fertile, but they all look COMPLETELY female-ish to me...

Is the neighbors rooster sneaking over for a little afternoon love affair?!

These are all the "girls" together.

Tomorrow morning, I'll go out and take some better up to date pictures of Chewy.

This gives me hope! Thanks!
