I'm new to checking coturnix eggs for the fertility "bullseye," as people are calling it.
This morning I cracked open yesterday's 4 eggs from my four layers.
#1 Double yoke, one yoke was cut by my scissors. I do not see a dot in the remaining yoke so I'm assuming this was an immature egg (based on a video I saw)
#2 No dot, but had a black fleck of some kind
#3 Has a dot and seems to have a bullseye ring
#4 Has a dot but I'm not sure if it has a full bullseye ring. It also has blood streaks. This egg is from my big Range hen that all the roos seem to prefer (not Scarlet as I had previously thought)
Any thoughts on which egg/s are fertile, and what causes the black fleck and blood streaks? Are these still edible?
Thanks
