Does this egg look fertilized? Thought I had all hens!

Ok that’s definitely a bigger ring than I’m seeing on mine. This is what they’ve looked like lately. I’m thinking that must just be what they look like.

Beautiful coop!

Thank you!

well I have been raising Barred rocks for several years, the egg looks normal to me, and I can assure you the barred rocks are hens, lol! Ether way unless your hens go broody, nothing will be different. If they are fertile you will have chicks, but from the pictures thats no going to happen

Thank you! It’s definitely two barred rocks laying at this point, so I’m glad to have someone experienced with them weigh in!

So is this like a carport that you have fenced in? I am fixing to have to make a big pen for my 3 week old chicks.

No I wish I were that handy! It’s the producers pride defender from TSC. I waterproofed and painted it, covered the run with hardware cloth with a buried apron and added a ventilation fan, automatic door, etc. They also sell just the run section if you have something to attach it to.
