How do you know if a rooster has fertilized eggs

You can crack one of the eggs open to check for a bullseye white spot on it
This is a fertile one, an infertile one won’t have a clear bullseye

Or you can incubate them for three to four days, then candle them to see if you see veins - signs of development.

This might help, it has pictures.

The bulls eye thing is suggestive but incubate ten or so and any vein or blood development day 3-5 means fertile for sure, you can crack them open if you don’t want chicks, I’d do it day two or three if you don’t want to see embryos.
