Are these fertilized?

[Chicky-bock-bock-mamma]

Good day my "peeps",
I have a pullet that just graduated to HEN yea!!! She is a Welsummer and I have a Black Copper Marans roo. The roo is only 7 months old so I have a couple questions as I am new to having a roo.
#1 He is only 7 months old, is he sexually mature?
#2 What breed do you get when you breed a Black Copper Marans to a Welsummer?
#3 Do these eggs look fertile? These are her first 2 eggs laid.

Thanks for your time!

Those are not fertile. Sorry!

You don't get a breed when crossing two breeds. It's a mutt, mixed, or hybrid if you will.

Those eggs as far as I can tell are fertile. Dot that grew into a doughnut on yolk.

Perhaps we need a close up of that fertile effort on yolk....

What about the blood spot?

What does a blood spot mean?

Yes, he's sexually mature. And I see a bullseye too, so I agree with Egghead Jr, fertile.

You only get blood if the egg starts incubating (or the hen happens to get a little bit of blood or whatever during the egg making process).

What do I or the OP care if the bird sleffed off some ductwork? They said it was a new to lay pullet so It's all on par in my thinking. Blood spots are nothing more than loose material on the oval wall (don't really want to get more specific as I just scramble at that point) that is exited into the egg.

Ok, I'll get a bit more specific...If I'm cracking eggs for over easy on toast and see a meat spot I'll quickly change gears and crack a lot more eggs for a scrambled breakfest. Don't tell my friends and familily it's because I'm trying to increase the odds I'm not the one to eat it! Nothing wrong with it but as the cook I know typically where it is unless scrambled....roulette...
