Fertilized egg??!?

[FarmerJohn3285]

Hi all. I collected a usual HUGE egg from my RSL this evening. However, this one unlike previous ones, is almost white on one end and the typical brown/light brown on the other end. Also, on both ends, but one moreso than the other, it has tiny red/brown bumps/rough patch. Is this something that I just really haven't noticed before or is there a way to determine a fertilized egg from the outside shell alone??

From what I understand, RSL will not go broody very often and she didn't try to protect it from collection.....help!!

This is her...

No there is no way of telling a fertilized egg from an unfertile one by the shell. Mine will lay eggs with spots on them and the next day will be perfect.
