Help! I fear I have an imposter

Well, I thought for sure I found a fertilized egg this morning. Yesterday I would have sworn all of my chickens were hens.

Here are the suspects - I know for a fact 1 of the 2 sapphire gems are laying. I also have big brown eggs I thought were being laid by the SLW, although truthfully she’s the only one I have never seen laying.

Honestly that egg does look fertilized (TO MY UNEXPERIENCED AND UNTRAINED EYE) But all birds pictured are definitely hens.

Agree, all 3 birds are 100% female.

That’s how I feel, too! I swear I have all hens. My older flock consists of 5 hens I’ve had for 4 years. These younger girls are all around 4-6 months old.

Thank you. I feel the same. Maybe the egg just appeared fertilized.

They look great for that age.
