No rooster fertile eggs?

[cmobley]

I also have chickens laying eggs with said bullseye and no rooster..... I thought it was just a sign of extremely fresh eggs

These came from tractor supply I wonder if these hybrid birds are starting to reproduce without help.

Search for "parthenogenesis" and "chicken".

You can also search for threads on this same topic - there are several.

Perhaps they are a product of a molecular genetic experiment?
A web cam might spoil our natural notion to be intrigued, then the mystery will be over
I like the idea of incubation and hatching for a big " Hatching Surprise".
I LOVE SURPRISES!!!!
Plus, I'll be following your updates...Lol
Hope you don't get a flamingo looking Chick. Lol

I guess I'll go dig the incubator out and set it up. I'll try 2 dozen eggs out of the other 2 dozen, 5 that had the bullseye. I can always add some duck eggs to try to hatch I've never hatched those. If the chicken eggs dont show signs after several days I'll let the duck eggs go the rest of the way.

Decided to hold off on incubating eggs right now. I live in south alabama waiting to see what these 2 little storms are gonna do in the gulf.
