Is there crowing happening??

Not a single crow. I figured we would have heard it by now.

Pics of the fertile bullseye in the eggs?

I thought I had a picture of it, but I can't find them now. Sorry

Pics of the fertile bullseye in the eggs?

I thought I read somewhere that all eggs have white spots in them reguardless if there’s a rooster or not??

So what else would cause damage like that to their backs? I have only seen it from breeding? Am I just misreading the situation? And then just "thought" I saw bullseyes because that is what my brain expected. lol

The feather loss could be from pecking each other and are you sure it’s a bullseye?

 

[JadeFarms]

Or it could be mites.

You're not wrong! Fertile eggs will have two clear rings of a bullseye, while infertile eggs just have a white dot.

The one on the right is fertile, the one on the left is not. Not my pic.

Here is your culprit

I haven't seen any mites. I sit in the yard with them almost every day for a while and don't see a ton of pestering and when they do, they usually pull at each others fluffy butt feathers. I will pay more attention to the eggs, but I swear it was a bullseye. Good news for me though, because I don't want a rooster! Thanks everyone
