Sapphire gem. Pullet?

All three are pullets. Did you just get them? They may still have sperm from a rooster if you just got them. They don't need to be around a rooster everyday as the sperm can last a few days.
So the bullseye doesn't mean fertile? The only reason I started looking was because I went to mix my eggs together and it looked like normal yellow but was red on the inside and I got freaked out a little lol
Can you post a picture of this? There may be an underlying issue.
They were sneaking out for a while before I could finally fully secure them in. We have other chickens in the neighborhood but they haven't gotten out for almost a month so I'm so confused lol
Do they have roosters?

I do believe they do. But none of my girls have gotten out for like a month? I've had them since chicks. I have ducks in a separate pen but I let them all graze together sometimes. But I don't think that's at all possible? They usually just leave the chickens alone and eat their grass

Do you have any drakes amongst them? I don't think they can fertilize a hen, but they can still mount a hen and injure her in the process. How close are these neighbors? Is it possible one of their roosters could have come over for a visit?

I do have a drake but I've always monitored them grazing very intently as I know they will sometimes try. I have two female ducks so he is usually more focused on them and eating grass while they're out together. Duck pen is insanely secure and I have cameras so I know the chick's have never gotten in there on accident. The roo is just a couple doors down and definitely does get out. Now that I think abt it my 3 yr old did leave the chickens open last week and they were roaming around for a day so maybe he got them then!
 
Do you have any pictures of the egg yokes? I see three pullets. Blood in the egg sometimes happens. I have new layers and I've gotten a few with blood or brown spots. They've gotta work the kinks out when they are new layers.
They're not really spots so much as like the middle of the whole yolk is red lol

This is the egg I collected today. It's a little hard to tell but in person there's more of a ring. My first double yolk lol that was a surprise!
