Just curious

Morning everyone, just trying to establish if one of my older girls is mating with my rooster. I've posted three eggs, can anyone see if any of them are fertile?

It looks like all of them are firtile but that last one with the blood spot

Agreed, though it's really hard to see. Often it's easier to tell if you make them black and white.

I actually just learned how to look at the eggs in this manner to tell (terrible I know! lol) but to my experienced and untrained eye, it looks to me like the first several eggs are indeed fertile. But I agree it is hard to make out and having only looked at pictures online, I don't have the knowledge others may have on the subject.

I agree, the one you're talking about is my oldest girl who is in semi retirement I think xx

They all look fertile but hard to see as pics are out of focus and glare is interfering.

If studied one of each of my girls eggs for a few weeks before choosing those for inclubation. Rosa (my oldest hen, only 4 years old though) has yet, as far as I can tell has not produced a fertile egg. I have witnessed Jeff my rooster on each of the birds so I can only presume he's doing his stuff as I have fertile eggs in the incubator
