Fertilized egg?

[Stephanie7177]

I have 6 chickens. I thought they were all hens. Been getting eggs that look fertilized to me? Is it possible to get fertilized egg with out rooster? Here is the eggs. They are 3 different eggs.Do I have an unidentified rooster?

Are they adults? Where you bought them from may have had a roo, eggs can be fertile for 2 weeks after the roo is removed

5 are 20 weeks old, they are all doing the squat I’m getting 3 eggs so far a day. Then the 6th one is 14 weeks old. & yes we have had them all since they were days old. They stay in a run an do not free range

Can we see pictures of you flock? Those look fertilized. Did you the hens recently?

You cannot have eggs fertilized without a rooster. Unless you got the eggs from a place that had a rooster and hen mate to lay the eggs.

All look fertile.

The 5 together are my older hens, an the other barred rock is my 14 week old who has a much longer tail then my 20 week old barred rock. But no other signs of rooster traits. Also my golden comets were sex linked as roosters as suppose to be white.

Yes, pics please! Are they free range? Would a neighboring roo have access to them if so?

We have never had any crowing or showing any rooster traits. So I’m so confused.

No they do not free range.

How long have you had them?
