These are pictures of the same egg.
It's hard to get a good picture.
It's a first egg. Is it fertile?

well, then i assume the egg is fertile, but, it always good to wait for the expert to start talking.

and, for the most certainty, simply set it inside bator for 3 days, if vein appear than the egg is fertile, that's the best way i've found out.

One small problem... I broke open the egg

My chooks are 7 months (30 weeks) old and I am not sure if my rooster has been doing his "thing" yet.
If it is fertile, the next egg I get is going in the incubator.
I had to, sadly, give away my rooster due to a neighbor... but the eggs should be fertile for a month or so after he is gone.
 
well, i mean that the scrambled one isn't included into bator test.

true, the egg produced by hen will still fertile for more than 2 weeks, great creature they're.

At 7 months I'm sure he's been doing his job. I wouldn't count on 4 weeks of fertility though. They can be fertile for up to 4 weeks so you want to wait that long before you sell/hatch eggs that you want from a particular roo. I'm pretty sure fertility will drop significantly after 1-2 weeks though.

Well, I wasn't sure exactly how long... should be long enough for me to be able to hatch my rooster's babies
