How to Tell a Fertile vs INfertile Egg (Pictures)

[Newchickenmom&kids]

Kewl!!! Thanks....I'd been wondering myself! I know some people thought that a blood spot meant it's fertile but I knew that was not true!

Very informative! Just a question though, some of were just asking about the color of yolks and yours are so nice and dark what is the secret????

I don't have a camera that will take pics that well of the eggs without alot of glare so those are from a website I found. They just happened to be the clearest ones and the most closeup I had ever seen.
This is one of Lexie's eggs from when they first became fertile-see the glare?

I have to agree this was an informative post, so thank you!

Not sure what I'll do if I crack an egg and see a 'bullseye' starin' back at me... I guess it depends on how hungry I am...

JenniferJoIN: Nothing wrong with eating fertile eggs... not at all unless you have a ethnic or religious conviction...

Speckledhen: Looks like a smiley face to me!! LOL!

It's the amount of green food they eat that makes the yolks darker.
