Is this egg fertile from my 5 ISA browns without a rooster??

[Ecarroll]

also how long can the egg last without heat before it dies as iv had these in a cold dark draw in outside shed for a few days now in near 1celsius??? Worth incubating these still or just try the next fresh eggs

I don’t think you should incubate these eggs, even if they are fertile, you will have better hatch rates if you get your own rooster. Eggs can last about a week, maybe more in room temperature, they can even hatch after being refrigerated sometimes. The real danger is getting warm enough to develop and then getting cold again, as that will then kill the new embryo.

And what about the bloody coloured embroyo on the left of the yolk does that not mean a chic was starting to develop??

Blood spots or meat spots in an egg have nothing to do with fertility, it is just a small malfunction in the reproductive track of the hen, makes sense as they are new layers, not everything is worked out yet.

Shall I incubate the next eggs then yea?? Incase they are holding sperm still from the breeders place where I got them?? I did want to make plans my flock.. was gonna get a rooster soon to do exactly that anyways..

As I said before, that egg doesn't look fertile to me.
I would not try any incubation, unless you get fresh hatching eggs from a source with a rooster.
The egg won't die as it's not alive, it takes 26 ish hours under the right temperature conditions for a fertilized egg to start developing.

How do U explain this information then and the fact that mine does infact have the circle around the dot clearly and not just a dot without the circle..

I'm gonna take my chances and try incubate a couple just to see as my egg yolk clearly has signs of a fertile egg with a clear ring around the dot indicating fertile egg instead of just a dot which infertile eggs have.. and the breeders I got these off must have had roosters around them that fertilised the hens before they left... And what's the harm in trying with a few eggs I get em free everyday anyways..

Like the other poster said, the ring does not mean fertility, sometimes the yolk just looks like that for various reasons.
IF the eggs are fertilized, they won't make it to hatch since the chances of viable genetic material that insures healthy chicks will likely be gone.
Also, not knowing the breed or temperament of the sire means the eggs are a gamble in another way.

I think there's a break down in communication here, but good luck.
Those breeders sound sketchy, based on all Information given.

No break down in communication mate.. just taking a chance with 3 eggs after finding one of em showing signs of fertility with a ring around a dot in the yolk in my fried egg today.. why not if I'm getting free eggs every day anyways from my hens? If it don't work I lost 3 free eggs??? Not a big deal in my eyes.. and if it works I got my first chics..
