I don't see the blastodisc/blastoderm. Might be on the flip side.

Oh man really I already threw it away

Blood spots happen now and then. No biggie. Just scoop it out with a spoon if you don't like it.

Look for a white dot or circle on the yolk - and then cook it and eat it!

See how the white dot is a circle and kind of clear in the middle? Looks fertilized to me.

Wow so crazy!! She hasn't seen a rooster in like 3 1/2 weeks!
I have two eggs from her one from yesterday and the day before and they were sitting on my kitchen counter. Should I try to incubate those? Or I already ruined it because they were on the counter? I have the two eggs on a heating pad :/ I will probably stop by tractor supply tmro and buy the cheapest incubator

 

[tortega18]

Or should I wait till like day 5 and try to see something with a light?

Eggs that are waiting for incubation should be kept cool, in a carton, fat end up. You want them to start development all at the same time.

If you are going to buy the cheapest incubator, odds are it will cause heartbreak your first few hatches until you learn how they work. They are notoriously unreliable, but eventually you can get good hatches out of them if they are monitored closely.

You'd be better off saving for a Hovabator, or even making one yourself out of a cooler.
