fertility experts: opinions please

[lurky]

Does this look like a fertile egg? I think it is.....but i am no expert on the subject. There are 3 girls with no rooster....but i have a fence jumper

So i wonder if he has been visiting

I think it's fertile.

Lurky, you can absolutely NOT tell by looking if the egg is fertile. All eggs have that little white spot. It`s called a germ spot.

Actually, you can. If the white spot is a bullseye, then its fertile, if there is no bullseye, its not fertile.

I dont think that egg is fertile. I dont really see a clear defined bullseye.

It looks like the fertile ones in the examples.

Sorry, yes you can tell by looking at an egg if it is fertile. Around the germ spot will be a bullseye.

Yes, all eggs have a white spot, but you can tell by the way that little white spot looks if it is fertile or not. A fertile egg will have a white ring with a white spot in the center.

ETA: I think about 4 of us posted the same thing at the same time. Whoops!
