Is this egg normal?

Is it only an occasional egg? Do a google search on Parthenogenesis. This may be what is going on. That center Orp gave me pause for consideration as well.

It’s only on occasion I will definitely look into what you suggested thank you so much any suggestions what to do with the eggs that are looking as the ones pictured? I’m pretty sure our Orps are all hens I haven’t ever saw eggs like the ones posted with the Orps it’s just been recently since the other birds have started laying not sure who’s eggs are who’s

I thought all eggs had a germ cell, it should be there and would only develop if fertilised and incubated, so just a germ cell, the girls bit only which won’t develop as unfertilised, the link is an example

Thank you for sharing this so is it possible it’s just the germ cell?

INFERTILE = BLASTODISC. FERTILE = BLASTODERM. NO MATTER WHICH IT IS, THE EGG IS PERFECTLY FINE TO EAT.

No fear, enjoy those eggs. You've worked hard for them!

They look less fertile in the newer pics, no definitive bullseye.

Nobody thinks the BO standing in the middle of the first picture looks like it has longer tail feathers coming in? Looks suspicious to me, but I suppose he would be crowing long ago!

I thought the same thing too...it looks like the tail feathers are longer and slightly curling under. I know someone that has a rooster that doesn't crow, just clucks and chatters like the hens. Could it be possible to have a rooster that's not a crower?

Hmmmmmm I’m not sure but as of today I literally collected 7 eggs and we have 7 birds I know those eggs were laid today because I checked early this morning and there was nothing. I thank you all for all the info and quick responses
