I was making eggs this morning and saw a few eggs that looked like they could be fertilized, but I thought I had all hens. Any idea?

I don't see any boys in there, not even any I'd want a better photo on. That does look like a bull's eye me, how many of those are you getting?































I'll include a link to an article that talks about parthenogenesis which could explain that, but that is pretty rare.































Parthenogenesis: Embryonic development in unfertilized eggs may impact normal fertilization and embryonic mortality | The Poultry Site















I found two or three others, two of which I didn't get pictures of, but the spot was bigger and kinda freaked me out, so I didn't eat them. I have a silkie rooster but he is not in the same area. The large hens try to kill my to bantams and my quail. So they live in a separate smaller coop in the large coop.
