Is this egg fertile?

[shirleynaught]

I have read the posts regarding egg fertility. To me, this looks more like a "bullseye" than the blastodisk. I have put a couple batches of these eggs in the incubator and by day 7 I see no growth. To rule out that it's not an incubator (or incubator operator) issue, I have also put eggs from different roosters in the incubator and a large majority of them show growth by day 7. Any input or advice would be appreciated!

from what I can see... and comparing it to the eggs I checked from mine, Id say its not fertile. Mine had much more of an obvious bullseye. But maybe it just doesnt show real well in the pic

I have never done this before, so I am just guessing at all this! Thank you.

How many hens per roo do you have?

 

[shirleynaught]

Three hens are with this roo. The other two breeding pens have two hens per roo.

how old is the roo?

I think he is 2 or 3. We just got him so i am not 100%. I took him out of the pen ti see if that doesn't get him going.
