How to Tell a Fertile vs INfertile Egg (Pictures)

[carriebain]

I'm on the fence about these, what does everyone think?

I think they are fertilized because of the dots in the yoke

Does anyone know if this method works with duck eggs when trying to tell if they fertile? I've tried googling this and all I get are answers saying to candle after the 5th day or so. I don't want to waste the egg trying to incubate it if it's not fertile. Do duck eggs have the bulls eye as well if they are fertile?

as far as I understand, yes. I just haven't got a good enough eye to clearly see the bullseye. Here is a picture of a duck egg (can you see it)?

Oh yeaaa I do see it! Cool thanks! My KC has begun laying but she doesn't lay in their coop too often. I've tried keeping the ducks in a little longer in the morning but that didn't help. She still lays them outside. And they free range so I'm lucky if I find them. The first egg of hers I found was frozen in the snow. I have one more in the fridge but haven't gotten anymore since. They're either hiding outside somewhere or she hasn't been laying.

So my eggs are fertile?

I'm not able to tell from your picture, I think the glare is too strong. Do you have more eggs you can get a picture from?

Fertile or infertile? My two bantam silkies were thought to both be females, but this egg has us second guessing. :/

Somebody is a roo!! Lol!!

Carribain, those eggs don't look fertilized! There is no bull's eye. They infertile. Do you have a mature, breeding roaster with your hens?
