Which is the rooster?

[Kiki]

I do not see any cockerels, yet I also see a fertile looking egg. Funky blastodisc is my opinion.

Where?

Do I have to read 3 whole pages to find an egg pic?

I don't see any males.

I don't have a chicken rooster.
Some of my chicken's eggs have a faker bullseye.

Maybe I'll try and incubate some and see how they turn out?

If a chick hatches, that is really good proof that the eggs were fertile!

But the birds in your photos all look like hens to me.

One way to check: every bird that lays eggs is a hen.

If you have ever gotten as many eggs as you have chickens, all on the same day, then they are all females.

Or you could pick each one up and check her vent to see if she is laying. A rooster will have a vent that's rather small and puckered looking. So will a pullet or hen that is not laying. But one that is laying will have a larger vent, that looks sort of moist and stretchy (like an egg could fit through it.) If you see one of each kind, the differences are pretty obvious.

If all the vents are equally large and stretchy, then all of your birds are laying, which means they are all female.

I'll try in the morning.

Bullseyes are a joke.
You probably just think you are seeing one.
I used to swear I was seeing one.

The only real way to check is to incubate some.

That is what I will probably do. It will be my first time incubating!

Don't get your hopes up...I doubt that any will be fertile.

Yup same. I really hoped for a roster. I was stupid and knew nothing about chickens when I ordered them and now have no rooster.
