First time watching for fertilized eggs, opinions appreciated 😊

Hi there, I have 4 ducks who are 1 year old. 2 pekin hens, 1 rouen hen, and 1 rouen drake. They are all housed together. My rouen girl isn't a big layer but I usually can identify her eggs as the shell typically has a green hue. Here are some pics for your opinion please on whether you believe this is fertilized? I think it is, but I just started looking for this and don't have a seasoned eye in this dept. Unfortunately I cannot get a high quality picture because only the wide angle camera works on my phone, I sure hope these are good enough to confirm! Your opinions/ comments are greatly appreciated. Thank you

Doesn't look like it's fertile to me

Agreed

Thank you both for your replies, I appreciate it! I haven't witnessed mating but they have had the behaviors for many months. I will just keep checking periodically and continue watching their behaviors.

I concur with the other two comments.

Do they have a pool that's fairly deep? Rouen are a large breed, and it might be easier for them to mate while in the water.

As the days get longer which is needed for good laying hopefully you will get fertilized eggs.

I disagree. With ducks it seems to me that the size of the spot matters more than the presence of the bullseye. They look fertile to me.

They look fertile to me. It was hard for me to see the bullseye but I found it. The only way to know for sure is to incubate them for a couple days if you have one to see if an embryo develops.
