No rooster, but 'spot' in yolks.

[Mohawk Chickens]

Hi All! Some one may have already brought this up. As far as I know, I have no rooster. When I crack an egg, I see the telltale white spot in the yolk. Either I never really learned what to look for or there is a roo' in the hen house!! Obviously at 10PM, I am not cooking eggs, LOL. When I crack some up in the morning I will take some pics and add them. I was just wondering has anyone had this happen or possibly explain this to me? I've only had my ladies for three years, so I am still learning. Thanks for any help that you can offer.

There are spots in the eggs. Not sure exactly what they are. A fertile egg has q spot that looks like a bulls eye. A spot in the middle with a white ring around it. Hope this is helpful.

All eggs should have a spot on the yolk / blastoderm, in fertilized eggs it looks more like a bullseye as mentioned ... long thread on it... https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/16008/how-to-tell-a-fertile-vs-infertile-egg-pictures
