Am I crazy? Does this look fertile to you?

[kyeschicks]

I think chewy is a roo

Chewy looks like a hen to me

If he/she is a rooster, then he/she has to be hen-feathered then.

Chewy better lay me some eggs soon, so I can stop obsessing about this!

There is absolutley no way in the world that Chewey is a boy. NO WAY

Relating more to the second pic, while it does have a ring around it, the center is offside and irregular almost bubbley in appearance. I don't think its fertilized.

Not fertile, no roo in those pics. I had a similar issue not to long ago with a disk on my girls' eggs instead of a dot. Was assured it was NOT fertile, not the best pic but it looked very much like yours:

Fertile looks like a bulls-eye with a ring around a disk. See here:

Thanks KDbeads...I feel much better after reading your thread. Once everyone started telling me that egg was fertile, I totally freaked out. I think I'm too quick to panic!

 

[KDbeads]

Yeah, I've got 4 EE's with slight curves to their tails, was afraid they were all roos for a while!!! 3 of them were laying eggs at 7 months old and #4 is 23 weeks, thinking another 6 or 8 weeks before she lays.

I only keep hens so Im not much help here when it come's to fertility etc..But I did enjoy reading this thread very educational, and nice looking hens you got.

Absolutely, Chewy is not a cockerel, I promise you. Here is a black Ameraucana cockerel I used to own. See the fringe of saddle feathers on him, the big tail, etc?
