So recently this new rooster I hatched last year has taken over the flock from the previous rooster who we sadly lost and I noticed that when he jumps on the hens to fertilise, he only does it for about 5 seconds.

Anyway looking at the eggs I have, just wanted to know if they look fertile to you or not from the images I got?

A fertile egg has something called blastoderm that looks like a bullseye:View attachment 2569282
While an infertile egg just has the small white dot, or a blastodisc.
Cracked open a darker egg I had and found something similar to it? Does it look like it, it’s a bit hard to see?bottom image is the easiest one to see

If you have any other eggs, they may have more prominent bullseyes. Post more photos if you think you see one again. I can’t tell anything from those other photos
