ok sorry not to cut u off or anything but i accidently broke my egg and it was fertile i saw a white mucus looking thing coming off the side of a yolk and a whit ring around it!

The white dot with ring would be in the yoke itself, not the mucus (egg white). and its pretty small.

well it broke on the second day and this thing was pure whit and it was hanging of the side of the yolk

I think all eggs have that, I've had non fertile store bought eating eggs with that. the best way to test fertility is to break and egg and carefully roll the yoke looking for the white bulls eye.

Ok, I looked it up, and all eggs do have the white thing hanging off the yoke, it's called a Chalazae, it anchors the yoke to the center of the egg, it does not mean it's fertile. If the egg had started developing and the yoke stayed intact when you broke it you would see a blob with red viens coming off it on the yoke, I know there is a picture of it in a thread somewhere on here. But also two days would probably be too early to see anything yet. usually you may be able to see veining on a chicken egg on day 3 or 4 of incubation, not day 3 or 4 since being layed.

ok but if i test one egg for fertality wont the next one be random?

 

[kelseygirl707]

No, pretty much, if one is Fertile, the next ones will be too (From that same hen).
