I don't have any roosters?

[ksmith]

I cracked an egg open this morning, and it had a red dot on the yolk part. Doesnt that mean the egg is fertilized? But I don't have any roosters, can you help me out?
Thank you!!

blood spot-no roo needed not fertile-normal

that's something often called a 'meat spot' or blood spot of course. If you saw the eggs that don't get to the supermarket, you'd see plenty of them. any eggs other than grade A have those frequently, they're perfectly normal and it's only a cosmetic thing. Those eggs are sold to baking companies etc and they use those eggs, not a thing wrong with them. You eat them all the time in bakery and other pre-packaged things.

look here https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16008 to see how to tell if an egg is fertile, though without a rooster ummmmm, yeah. I wouldn't worry if I were you. Heh, actually I wouldn't worry anyway since I do usually keep roosters.
