Egg fertility question

[RCCheshire]

Just wondering if these eggs look fertile to you all. In person I was convinced I saw a bullseye on one of these but in the picture it doesn't look like it. Ah!

Me neither - sorry. Have you compared them to pics of fertile eggs? If not, here's a couple of links that may help

I was afraid of that. Is it crazy to think he is mourning? He fathered a chick and had successful forming eggs under a broody Hen when we had a fox tragedy with the chick, eggs and three hens falling victim. Ever since then, he rarely does his dance or mates that I see. and all the hens eggs are like this now.

Time of year does play a part in fertility. Even my young cockerel is only at about 50%. Just like the shorter days stop a hen from laying, it also affects a rooster's willingness to mate.
