Fertile eggs?

[sealer39]

What do the experts think? These two eggs are from my two White Leghorn hens. The cockerel I have is my EE avatar and he has been mating with the other chickens in my flock but I have never seen him mate with the leghorns. When he has tried he usually gets his but kicked by them. I cracked these two into my blender this morning and was surprised to see that they both look fertile to me but I’m not certain. Please ignore all the brown stuff around the eggs, that’s just protein powder that was already in the blender.

Yep, fertile! I'm sure you've seen pics, but here's one of mine it looks exactly like yours. Not the best pic, but this is a fertile one.

I just had a Marans that went broody about three weeks ago and I broke her of it. The WL eggs I’m sure weren’t fertile at the time. The EE x WL are the only crosses I would like to hatch. Oh well, maybe next time.

Agreed, fertile! Do you want to hatch these? Btw, your cockerel is beautiful

Thanks.
Sure! The next time one of my chickens go broody I’ll give her about eight of them.

Please post a thread when you hatch on what the chicks look like! I'm very interested in this cross.
Thanks.

Will do. I checked the coop one last time at dusk last night and there was another Marans sitting on an empty nest. Hopefully she is going broody now.
