Is the egg fertilized?

[TheMother]

I'm not sure that's actually a boy. He/she has an extremely small comb and wattles, and I'm not really seeing cockerel feathering.
Can you post a link to your other thread?

I see saddles, and he's mounting your hens.

I am thinking Roo. He has fairley large tail feathers and I can tell if he has pointed hackle feathers or not, but his feet and legs are pretty big too. Not all eggs that a hen lays with a rooster are fertile, probably just a hiccup egg. Post a pic of the next hen he mounts, and her egg, and maybe that will be fertile.

Yeah the picture has a lot of glare so it makes it slightly burry, I really had to squint my eyes to focus on it several times. The person that has the egg would definitely see it clearer.

Yes, glare and lack of focus make it hard to see.

I fiddled around with the lighting in PS and do think it's fertile.

This one's from the morning harvest of the mounted hen. See anything?

Still out of focus, but looks fertile.
It's very hard to get good pics of yolks...I use my macro setting, put it in good bright light and compose shot so glares are away from blastoderm.

Wow

Wow that's an excellent picture! Clearly your rooster is earning his keep.
