They are not fertile.

Fertile but funky....any thoughts?

Not from me, but I wish someone else would comment on that. Sometimes I have yolks that have darker splotches and I wonder what it is too. I think I examine my eggs too closely, lol.

is this not a fertile egg that has started developing?

I get some splotchy yolks too....could just be a glitch... or frozen but not cracked will do weird things to the yolks.

Ok.. I have read over all 24 pages of this thread, but I still need someone's opinion. I am hoping they are fertile... But I'm not so sure they are. What do you think?

They look fertile to me.

Because I'm a little nutty about my girls' eggs, I like to check them out- weigh them, check for fertility and yes, photograph them. Here's a great way to check fertility - clear glass bowl so you can check under the yolk for the blastocyst and bullseye.

In this image the bullseye is blurry because I couldn't get my camera to focus on it, but it is a clear one.

Please help I have spend about 1 1/2 hrs researching and looking at photos of eggs- the egg in question is from one of my girls who I know has been getting busy with my rooster... Is it fertile??? I'm thinking it might be but then thinking maybe I'm just hopeful

Thanks in advance x
