Fertile egg?

This is the best I can do off my phone, I can run out to the coop now if they aren’t good enough.

The Cochin looks like a hen. How old is it? Could you post a better picture so we can see its tail feathers?

Sorry for the delay, kids went back to school today so had a chance to get some pics. They’re all 1year in April. The silver laced cochin is the only one that doesn’t squat and that I haven’t seen in the nest box.

I’m think the buff Orpington is a rooster!

I will laugh so hard at myself. Going to get a better pic now

They all look like hens to me.

I see pointed hackle feathers typical of a male, but saddle feather look female.
That egg in the OP is definitely fertile.

This is so strange. I was looking for fertile egg pics and came across this. They all look like hens to me but your egg is fertile. Do they free range at all? Any neighbors with free roaming chickens?

You know, now that I think about it, if you want to get up close and personal with your chickens, there's a way to tell. Hens who are laying have larger, moist vent. Roos have a tighter, drier vent. All it takes is looking at it, no violations. I had to help do vent swabs on a lot of chickens for a research project, that's how I came across this knowledge.
