can you tell if it is fertile? And if so, how? Silly question, I know. I can candle pretty well and after day 7 in the 'bator I'm good to go but I just really don't think I know what a fertile, fresh egg looks like out of the shell--if there is any difference!?? How do I not know this? Someone help me out!
So cool! Well, I'm happy to know that the Marans and Polish eggs I put in the fridge for eating a few weeks ago because I wasn't ready to hatch are FERTILE! Good roosters! I cracked open an egg from a local farm to compare and theirs was not fertile. So I'm reasonably sure that what I saw in my eggs was the bullseye/donut of a fertile egg. Good thing I'm making a frittata for a brunch tomorrow, 'cause I just cracked open half of the eggs in my fridge! I couldn't help myself.
I was making eggs yesterday and grinned like a dork when I saw the bullseye staring back at me...lol Congrats on the fertility!!!! Julie
