Checked my hens egg its fertile???

[Teresaann24]

I crakced one of my hens eggs and it LOOKED fertile I went online and checked the pictures and sure enough it looks fertile.

She has not been with a roo for over 4 months how could this be? She is kept in a pen by herself. I added a roo with her yesterday evening but he could not have fertilized her eggs this fast could he??
