How to Tell a Fertile vs INfertile Egg (Pictures)

[thailand]

Hi

Can someone confirm my suspicions that my young rooster is 'on the job'?

Thanks

Those look like the pictures of the "bullseye" that I've seen in pictures of fertile eggs. It's what I look for in my eggs.

I found this blue egg this morning sitting in a puddle - I have recently introduced a cockerel to my flock and so took the opportunity to check it for fertility as it was no good after being in a puddle all night - what do you think ?

I would say, Yes!

Hooray ...... Too early to consider incubating yet in the UK but in 6-8 weeks time I might give a batch a go

Just keep an eye on them as you use them to eat.

thanks for the info. I will have to pay attention when I crack open an egg. Hopefully when one or more of my girls go broody I will have some fertile eggs for them.

Sometimes you have to flip the yolk over to find the spot, which can be tricky to do without breaking it. I use a large soup spoon.

Hello, newbie again. cracked a few fresh eggs first three days old, second laid today. the spot is right between the lights on the first and to the left of the light on the second. I don't know if these are clear enough to see. I didn't post two that were definite no's. What do we think about these two. this was my best pics. on the bottom one there was a white area to the left of the spot. They were yummy.
