How can you tell from a picture?

Chicks are always exciting!!Mr roo might not be making the eggs fertile though which is quite strange for a roo. how old is he?

The OP has 2 silkies trying to mate a Salmon Faverolles so they might just be missing the mark. The eggs do not look fertile to me.

He is 7 months, and is a d'anver bantam, the laying hen is a barred rock.

No fertile pics on this thread so far sorry

Maybe still a little to young.I could be wrong bc my easter eggers started laying fertile eggs around that age.do you have pictures you could post of him?does he crow any?

Bottom right is the only fertile one.

That's just the camera flash.

So he is 9 months, my math was wrong. Here is a photos. He is all about the crowing

To the OP, I'd say your egg looks hard to tell definitively. If the egg was just laid within a few hours of the picture, that could be why. I often notice the bullseye is more obvious after the egg is a day or two old; it seems to take that long for the blastoderm to form the bullseye. You could try leaving the next one a bit before cracking it!
