vote for my egg yolk: Fertile or INfertile?

[rosco]

here are two photos of an egg yolk from an egg collected at the same time as the ones i'm incubating. but this one was refrigerated.
first photo shows two dots (front portion and top portion of yolk in this photo)

this white mass was found on the opposite side.

it is in the second photo that i think i see development.

I see a bullseye below the white mass to the right

If your egg is feritle it will have a small bulls eye in the middle of the yolk. Its hard to notice at first then you start to notice when ever you eat an egg

I'll toss in my vote as infertile.

I always look for a bullseye on the yolks to identify fertility.

I of course am not an expert, just a guesser

That is what i'm thinking as well. what is the white swirly mass in the 2nd photo? you can't see it in photo, but there were two little black spots.

this egg was doubtfully on 1st day. i'm wondering if the second photo doesn't show the development of a 2 or 3day embryo (or is it fetus?). here is the timechart that leads me to wonder this:

i could be wrong, but i think the bullseye is gone by day 2 or three. what do yall know about this?

Remember that the chart shows growth which wouldnt start until after incubation started. So, when I get my eggs out of the nest box, they just have the bullseye. They wouldnt get anything else unless someone has been incubating them.

Could this egg have been incubated by a hen for 48 hours?

I honestly can not see a fertile bulleye in your pics. Also you will not have development of any kind until you begin incubation either by a broody hen or incubator.

i cracked another egg. the center of what i think is a bullseye is dark.

Do yall think this egg is fertile?
