Hey guys, just wondering if these eggs look fertilized, we do have one rooster who just hit puberty.

A "fetus" won't form until a fertilized egg is kept at ~100°F for a few days.
And the first thing you'll notice are the blood vessels, not the fetus.

The one on the right barely has a ring, but there looks like a small fetus hanging off the white tail
I think what you are talking about is the Chalaza. Those are "cords" attached to the yolk and eggshell to keep the yolk centered. As the egg ages the chalaza become harder to see.
