Is my egg finally fertile??

[Minky]

Does that mean it's a poorer prospect for hatching? Or mean anything else?

its a poor prospect now that its in my stomach!

Possibly.

Could be several factors:

I would mark those eggs to see if they have any hatch issues,
providing they are unique enough to do so.

Did you say she was a young layer? This is just a blood spot, usually a piece of reproductive tissue, or perhaps she had a small tear/bleed, and it got caught up in the egg production. You can sort of pick that out before cooking it, but it is safe to eat. Commercial eggs are candled to remove eggs with blood spots, which is why so many folks aren't used to seeing it. My older hens have blood spots often in their eggs.

yes, she is almost a year, been laying since October. I figured it was nothing much of any importance.
