What is this?!

Well, it doesn't look fertile in the respect that there is no definite ring around the blastodisc..but I believe I remember there can be changes to the blastodisc that don't relate to fertility. Sorry, can't remember the details....maybe @ChickenCanoe knows?

Have you thought of maybe incubating it for a few days? Then you would know for sure!

How do I do that??? Get an incubator? I would totally do that!

To me that does not look fertile, it is not a bulls eye, just a spot.
However the roo down the street can be coming in, and servicing your girls. No rooster is going to let a 5-6 foot fence stand in his way. And he can be in and gone fairly fast.
The roo's that come into my yard end up staying,,,,

Haha! Well, if I catch any roo’s over here, they will be dinner!

I’m starting to think my girls are wandering off... I get about 12 eggs a day and missing the same few eggs each day. I think they’re going somewhere else to lay them. I kept them locked up in the run (11x22) and got 14 eggs today. I better go start knocking on doors to visit some backyards.

As for the mystery dot... it just stood out to me. Most of my eggs don’t have obvious dots. Or maybe I just noticed this one. I’m going with a large dot, not bullseye. Thanks for everyone’s input!!!

Myself and my neighbor have all pullets/hens. There’s a roo a few houses down but I’ve never seen any other birds in our yard. There’s no way it’s fertilized. But it LOOKS like it is, right?

Anytime you snap a picture of a fresh broken out egg, overhead lights can give you a false positive appearance.

The last 2 I found flocks for, they were good bird from poor owners. If they had been aggressive, well that would be another story.

A Chickadee? I have Sparrows and Chickadees visit my chickens pen when I toss out seeds as a treat. You never know. GC

Hmmmm... I wonder what the genetics on that would look like.
A Bantydee? Bandee? Chickatam?

Yes, but this was an excellent pic, taken so the light flares are not on blastodisc.
