Do these eggs look fertilized?

[FowlWitch]

I have a serama cockrel with my Easter eggers. Just curious if he's actually able to mate them

Hope the image quality is okay

They look fertilised, but the light right on top of the "bullseye" is obscuring things.

I agree with @sylviethecochin, the light is 'dead' center of the bullseye!

I know I was trying to prevent that! It was difficult I don't want to crack any more just in case, though. Should I put them in the incubator and see what happens?

Well if you have a dot and it has a halo or a ring around it, they are more than likely fertile. I see a halo but the light on the yolk is obscuring thing

Might as well, don't have anything to lose but 4 or 5 days of incubation, after 4 or 5 days you can candle them and see if there is any development.

One of my hens lays double eggs and the second egg always has a sub-par shell. I don't want to incubate those so I cracked one she gave me today.

Look fertilized?

Not really, it's got the outer disc but I don't see a 'bullseye'. Just looks like germinal disc to me.

Last one looks fertile to me. So do the first two. Although it's harder to tell because of the reflection. Definitely set some!

Okay now you two have to battle it out to prove who's right
