How long after you re-home your rooster can you still have fertile eggs? We re-homed our roosters just a few days before Christmas, and last week I cracked an egg open that looked fertilized! Huh? Like a dummy, I didn't take a picture. Do roosters leave their...calling cards for that long?
 
If your hens have been without a male since Christmas, it is very unlikely to have been fertile.
 
I went by pictures I found on BYC: the "bullseye" in the egg. I noticed our eggs had them shortly after the roosters figured out what they were supposed to do. It wasn't a blood speck, it looked just like the same bullseye. Kind of a moot point now, just made me wonder!
