Fertilized egg?

[WallyG74]

If you suspect one is a cockerel, a conclusive way to check the gender is a DNA test…I did my babies from egg shells, but you can use a drop of blood or feathers. I used IQ Genetics, mailed it off and received results via email. A test is $15.

Or you could just be patient and time will tell.

Sure looks like a hen to me.
I have a hen with a tail like that. I was concerned about it up until 20 weeks, then she laid an egg.

I’ve seen your pics and the hen in front may look a little Sus to me…

I was thinking the same thing…

All birds pictured are female. Zero male specific traits.

Not to mention "the one in front" is a Red Sex-link. It can only be female if it's that color.

There is some evidence for parthogenesis in chickens. Usually the embryos are unorganized and do not live to hatch.

The left and center ones look normal. My hens have also had eggs that looked liked them as well as ones that I bought at the grocery store before I had chickens. The one on the right looks like there was blood vessels ruptured during the yolk formation which can sometimes happen when hens first start laying. This is something that I have read about over the last year since I started raising hens. Don't use that reddish brown yolk, it may give an odd flavor to foods. The new hens will come up with a few odd looking eggs until they learn how to make their eggs. It is normal, as are really big double yolk eggs. Have Fun!!!
