Oh I could but I suck and did it one year and really depressed how many turkey eggs were not fertile and how many chicks died.
I have a incubator. I would then of course have to wait several days. I really don't think I am gonna keep the rir anyways. They are not laying at all hardly and my eggs are scarce. If I am paying to feed them. I better get more eggs then I have been. My ee is not laying at all. I will not get rid of her though. Her name is Betty you know black betty or the buff orp. I want more ee's though or true ones. We like their eggs best.
If your having a hard time getting your hens to lay you might consider evaluating their diets.
I agree that the pic of the egg your showing is infertile.
