I have to be honest. I often have trouble distinguishing them in my eggs in person. I have to have a bright light and wear my glasses. But I guess my old eyes are failing.
There is always a white dot on the yolk. But the fertile egg has a ring rather than a dot.
The dot is the blastoderm. That is the hen's contribution to the potential future embryo.
When the yolk drops from the ovary to the infundibulum and there is semen in the sperm ducts and fertilization occurs, immediately in the warm environment of the oviduct, cell division occurs. As that cell division continues in the (what is now) blastodisc, the first cells to form die off and when the egg cools, development is suspended till it becomes over 85F.
Those cells that die off form the center of the bullseye.

Thanks very very much!

What I see is the blastoderm by itself. I don't see a bull's eye. Not fertile.
