Fertilized egg?

[SilverDuck284]

Broke an egg this morning and was surprised to see what looks like a fertile yolk, but I'm not an expert. I'd very much like some opinions, my cockerel is only 4 months old, just started crowing a couple of weeks ago. The hen who laid this egg is nearly twice his size.


So hard to get a good shot of the yolk.







Here's the youngster.

I'm brand new to this but from the pictures I've seen on early fertilization, there is that one small circular area that does look like it shows like early embrionic cellular change. Would be interested in knowing myself after some pros respond.

I believe that your 'boy' is getting the job done.

 

[SilverDuck284]

That's crazy! I really thought I was seeing things. Maybe I'll fire up the 'bator and test the theory.

WOOHOO! What Roo!

 

[debbie50chicks]

That's "What A Roo"!

Yeah, I'm still not sure I believe it. Hahaha, got to love biology.

I'd say its fertile.

I had a 4 month old roo become a daddy last week. I was surprised to. But he's my only crested roo and the chicks definitely have crests! Now when I let them out in the morning there's no stopping him. Out to spread his genes everywhere.
