I just cracked two eggs today to check fertility. They look fertile but is it possible that they are fertile since the rooster has been in there since sunday and iv never seen him mount them? The last roo they were with was about a month ago.
fertility?

I wouldn't use your NOT seeing him mount them as evidence for anything. If you see the bullseye, they're fertile. Make sure it's a bullseye. Just a spot doesn't indicate fertility.

Well there is a ring around a dot but the dot is not perfectly round it is more like an unperfect shape. Is there another way to tell if its fertile?

Have you reviewed the pictures in this thread i've linked to? As far as i know, this is the most certain way to know if your eggs are fertile.
