how is this possible?

Very interesting! Maybe I'll try mine for the heck of it lol

Granted that these "bulls-eyes" aren't real fertile eggs, but nature is always hovering on the verge of the impossible happening, sort of like forks in a road. We know parthenogenisis is possible in reptiles, especially lizards, and recently they discovered "virgin births" in some large captive snakes. Chickens are from that biological lineage, so maybe someday we'll hear of baby chicks hatching from eggs that roosters never had anything to do with.

It would sure be a nifty way to determine the sex of chicks, though, since they would probably all be of the same sex.

That would be cool!

So I wonder if you DO have a roo, and see what you think are fertile yolks....maybe they are not actually fertile??!?!?

That could give you 'false' hatching rates! OyVey!

I'm guessing that the very last one is the only fertile one.

Lol lazy gardener is right. Only fertile in those pics is the last one but when I showed the other photo to several experienced chicken breeders they were duped by the fake. Nice call lazy gardener

I just looked this up because I also live in town with zero roosters and I saw what looked a lot like a bullseye to me. I had seen the dot plenty of times, but nothing like what's in the pic.

It was much stronger looking in person.
