Yes, I've seen at least 1 of the 3 roosters on a few ladiesdo you have roosters?
Hello all. I decided to crack open a few of my eggs now that I know the usual layers aren't laying as they are not in with the general population so I'm eggcited (hehe) about that but just wondering about a few things I found when I opened them up to test fertility.And in the 2nd- what are all those dark spots? Never seen either so I'm wondering what I'm working with- are they healthy? Is this normal? I have bantam silkies and frizzle Cochins if that helps solve my mystery. Thanks!That is the chalaza, it helps suspend the yolk in the center of the white. It is delicate, and part of what can sometimes be damaged in shipped eggs.
I don't think that one is fertile?
The second one is definitely fertile, you can see the perfectly formed round bullseye in the center. Look for a dot with a ring around it for fertile. Non-fertile the dot will be ringless or misshappen I believe.
Dark spots - no idea
