is this egg fertilized?

[kelzey]

the last couple months have been a struggle for my poor little roo, the girls are taking their sweet time with accepting him. but lately he seems to actually be a part of the flock instead of an outsider, and sleeping with his ladies on the roost (usually smushed against the wall, next to my top hen weirdly enough). i’ve seen him try to mate with them but usually he gets rejected, until lately. so is this a bullseye on this egg? it looks like it to me, and it was very hard to get a good picture.

Yes, that egg is fertilized. It’s hard to tell in the picture but I can see the bullseye ring.

i’m so glad! that’s so exciting. i don’t plan on hatching until next year, but i’m so glad that my roo is getting along with my ladies enough that they let him mate with them now. i was so worried that it would never work out
