Are these eggs fertile?? **germ spot pics**

Just as the title suggests. I’m still trying to learn to read these things!

Those eggs look fertile. Do you have an incubator? Thats a sure way to see if your eggs are fertile.

Haha I do have an incubator! I’m about to give it my first trial run next week that’s why I’m looking at the eggs I eat now. We recently got a rooster and he’s servicing 13 hens so I’m curious if that’s a little many or rather if that will reduce our fertile number selected!

I wish my young flock would give me fertile eggs. All were hatched around Easter last year. I don't see well defined "bulls eyes" but the boys are trying and my incubator will be used this week. Good luck with your eggs. What breed/s do you have?

No and Yes.
In the first pic, the spot is just a white dot. Not fertile.
In the second pic, the spot is surrounded by a ring, like a bullseye. Fertile.

I have a welsummer roo and as far as hens go I have sapphire gems, barred rocks, Rhode Island reds, and prairie bluebells!
