Fertile or not

[Pekin747]

I'm looking to set some Indian runner eggs in a week or 2 but I'm not sure if the eggs are fertile as I had to switch drakes as my other one was only threading 1 duck and not the other 3
My Indian runners are very skittish as they wherent handled enough but I just let them do there own thing now
I'm just wondering if use can help tell me if these are fertile or not as I have heard that u can tell if an egg is fertile if it's got a white spot on it and the spot isn't the easiest to see on camera but u can sort make it out

Is this true or is it just a it's more likely to be fertile but maybe not
This was this one of morning's eggs and there was a clear white dot on it but I'd rather let use help me decide if it is or not

Also the only reason I'm not going to set them without making sure they are fertile is because I'm going to set some hen eggs instead if they rnt ready

Sorry, but that egg is not fertile.

Do u have any pics of what it should look like if fertile or know someone on this plate form who does??

I can Google and try to find a good picture for you but the white dot basically means that the egg is fertile, as in ready to be fertilized by the drake but what you'll see when the egg is fertilized is more like a bullseye around the dot.

@aart has a clear picture indicating a fertile egg.

Not my images, from Google.

Hello..Duck eggs can be difficult to identify the bullseye.
Definitely you will see the white dot but also a white ring around the dot too. The white ring in Duck eggs Is harder to see.
