Is there a way to tell, if the eggs are fertile before incubating?

How can you tell if an egg is fertile, before incubating? And without cracking it, to see if the spot is bigger.

Nope, sorry.

Have to Crack them, or incubate them. But if you crack them, know that you are looking for a White Bulls Eye, not a bigger spot.

ok, thanks

This may help. Cracking a few to see if they are fertile is the only way I know. If the ones you crack are fertile, the others probably are.
