Fertilized?

Just looking for an expert opinion as we supposedly don’t have roosters but I’m thinking we might have a rooster in disguise.

Looks fertile to me.

Agreed, it's fertile.

I’m asking because we supposedly don’t have a rooster so now I am confused. They’re all young and just started laying. Could the rooster have just not crowed yet? Here’s a black and white where you can really see it

Can you upload some pictures of your flock?

In my experience, some roosters just don't crow very much. Might be worth setting up a sound-activated trail cam overlooking your yard/run to catch crowing or mating in the act.

Alternatively, posting pics here might shed some light on who the imposter is.

I haven’t seen anyone mate so I’m perplexed. We do have one golden “hen” who really should have been laying by now and they’re a bit offstandish and aggressive so I wonder if it’s “her” or him lol
