Fertile or Infertile? *please help soon*

[cluckcluckgirl]

I have an EE who laid an egg. Today, when I cracked it open, I was unsure if it was fertile. Here's a pic of it: (note, it's in black and white for better view of the blastoderm)


It looked like a ring. It did not have that much white in the center, but the ring got thicker towards the bottom. I have a deal with an egg buyer hoping to purchase fertile eggs soon, so all help is appreciated. Thanks

Its too out of focus, unfortunately. Do you have any better focused pics?

Is there a reason you think you roo might not be doing the job? In my experience, if you have a healthy roo, and less than 15 hens, pretty much all the eggs are going to be fertile!

Can't tell from the pic, sorry.

Here are some more. My camera is a few years old, so it's definitely seen better days.





Definitely not very good. Here's an illustration of what it looked like:






My roo is healthy, and he manages 12 hens, just the tricky thing about him is that he doesn't do it when anyone's around, and I want to make sure the eggs are fertile for the buyer.

It's really hard to tell with such blurry pictures, but it looks infertile to me.

It looked 50/50 to me. It had a ring thicker at the bottom, but I don't know if it's fertile or infertile. So far it's 1 fertile answer to 1 infertile answer. I'm confused.

It looks to be infertile..

If it looks like a target it's fertile but a dot it is not.

It didn't look like a dot, but not like a perfect blastoderm, like I've seen before. The ring was thicker towards the bottom, and I thought all blastoderms looked perfect. I am new to fertile eggs, so pretty uninformed about this little blastoderm.
