Does my hens eggs look fertile?

[won023]

Hi I’ve just bought a roo for ma girls and I’m curious what a fertile blastoderm looks and if mine looks fertile ? I see a vague ring on the white dot? I’m not sure ? If not how long will it be until it’s fertile? My roo attempted mating in the morning but as a whole he doesn’t seem to mate often he’s very nice...

Your eggs are fertile.

Those do not look fertile to me.

Really? Why? I always thought the bullseye meant they were fertile.

I'm seeing any bullseye. Just an infertile blastodisc.

How do you tell the difference?

 

[junebuggena]

An infertile egg will have a small white spot on it, like the eggs pictured.
This is a fertile egg. The blastoderm is larger, and the center is less distinct.

I see a faint ring...but my eyes could be betraying me.

so I'm going to go with infertile too.

How do you tell the difference?

the bullseye needs a ring around it to mean it's fertile
this pic I found should help you.

Oh hewph. I thought my eggs were infertile! Now I see the difference and they are, thankfully.
