Fertilized vs.fertile

[OutragedCanoe]

Hi guys, I have had a rooster for a few months. I'm wondering if these eggs look fertilized. I have seen him try go court the girls several times but never successfully mate and he doesn't press the issue or chase them or anything. I know this could be occurring and I'm just not seeing it. I'm hoping to let one go broody this spring or even incubate eggs and just want to make sure that he is intact being successful and mating them. Having a hard time seeing the bullseye is there is one though.

They don't look obviously fertile...

They don’t look fertilized to me? This is more what you want to see - a dot with a ring around it. Not the best photo, but hope that you can see it.
