So Im so far behind right now, Im going to be reading a lot in the next few days at work.

Well I did talk to DS Dr and we talked for over a hour on the phone, nice guy. And get this I didnt tell my son I was going to do it, so about 20 mins later son called and said I need to talk mom. Ok Ok I called your Dr honey had to.. Guess what Guess what? ( I was waiting for MOM I can take care of my self!) No he said Oh Mom thank you so much for talking to him really. Than later last night he sent me a message saying the same thing.. So hay I did something right for once with my kid... At least he saw it this time...

Its been busy here have eggs going out in the morning to CL and have a few people getting chicks and eggs, plus work and you said it to the hospital I will go...

I am so just hanging on right now, and trying to keep my mouth shut to the in-Laws, hay Im a bigger person than they are. The kids dont need that crap!

If anyone needs me please PM me I'll get it. Yes I have eggs for a few of you if you want them.

So now the blood in eggs doesnt mean its Fert.

If a hen gets startled or scared when they ovulate there can be blood spots in the egg.
The only time I get them is when they get scared.

That baby has no splash on it, but great tufts, so I will say it will be a white Am....

X2, but also just from straining with a larger egg.
It is caused by small capillaries bursting upon ovulation, and can happen- rooster or not.
Fertilized eggs have a target on the yolk, which is where the embryo forms.
Blood in the egg is called egg meat, is harmless and indivates no fertilization.
Here is a post with photos showing the cell development with a fertile & infertile egg:
