Not sure if thats the start of a baby chick on the side of the yolk. Can you guys tell weather or not it is a fertile egg? if so, how?
 
Doesn't look fertile to me. I think you're seeing the chalazea. It's the stuff that holds the yolk in place inside the egg.


This is a fertile egg. Ignore the red meat spot, see the white 'bullseye' on the yolk.

Yes, that apears to be where the chalaza is connected. I also agree that the egg in question isn't even fertile. No apparent bulls eye.
 
Your yolk may have the bullseye as well, it is difficult to tell with the glare from the camera. If it has the bullseye, it is fertile.
