That's not an embryo, that's a chalazae which helps in suspending the yolk at the center of the egg.

[bryanp]

unfortunately you are comp, etely wrong, a fertilized egg has a doughnut shaped white spot on the yolk, as an infertile egg has just a small white dot on the yolk. Everything else is exactly the same. The white cords on the sides of the yolk keep it in the center of the egg, those are not embryos. People please do your research.

Ok here is the actual facts. That white "membrane" is called the chalazae and it is to hold the yolk in place in the albumen ("white") of the egg. In the fertilized egg there will be what is called a blastoderm which is a white bullseye looking ring, and if the egg is unfertilized you will see a blastodisc which is just a white dot. The color of the yolks has nothing to do with fertilization. Simply one is free range chicken and the other is store bought, which may be why the yolks vary in color.

Unfortunately you are so wrong. That white bulk material keeps the yolk suspended in the middle of the egg and does not turn into the chicken. The yolk is the egg and there will be a bulls eye white circle in it if it becomes fertilized.

On Youtube - EVERYONE is an expert. That's why you the watcher need to be selective in which channels you watch/follow. Don't just believe what you see/hear on youtube. In all other respects however, this channel does provide useful information and is very interesting for those of us around the world who garden and raise chickens.

He's wrong where the spot he pointed that is not where the chicken is gonna start it's life it's starts from the tiny spec on the yolk

I have to say your chicken eggs look better.

Hi I am not sure if you know this but if it fertile the white dot in the egg has a ring around it like a bullseye if not then its just a white dot I found this out on a hatching page on facebook hope it helps

[timnewberry]

That is just the membrane that supports the yolk as the egg is forming. It has nothing to do with fertility of the egg.

[jimmyallen]

You stated at 00:47 that you underutilized eggs will have a “membrane growth or an embryo growth...”. There is no such thing as an unfertilized embryo. You are pointing at the cheztize. There are two in all normal chicken eggs. They suspend the unfertilized yoke or the embryo if fertilization has occurred.

[christie]

u r wrong in so many ways! the bigger the white thing is, that actually suspends the yolk in the shell, the fresher the egg is. this is why it is bigger in ur fresh egg & smaller in the store bought. u should actually check ur facts before posting.

[morganlemons]

One of my hens laid their first egg and it's a rather small and brown one. Do they normally look that small like a golf ball when they are first laid? Their white Brahma chickens.

[randomravika]

Actually, that membrane has nothing to do with You want to look at the tiny white spot ON the yolk itself. If it's just a spot, not fertilized, if it looks like it has a ring around it or the trademark "bullseye" then it is fertilized.

[CarolinaGirlCreationZ]

So there is no way to tell when collecting if an egg has been fertilized or not? I have a move in rooster and am getting ready to buy 4 hens after I get a coop built but if I lose one, I'd probably like to have some fertilized so I can replace any I may lose. How would I tell? Is there no visual queue?

Intro is way too long, especially for a video that's only 2 minutes long.

In 1975 our biology class incubated eggs from the supermarket. No one believed the teacher that the eggs would grow to hatch b4 the incubation. 29 hatched out of 32. Still pretty cool. Don't know if today's eggs are fertilized or not.

[Peaceisabeast]

Tried to crack open an egg this morning and the shell would break, but the skin of it wouldn't. I had to poke it with a fork to pop it open. I was wondering if there's any difference in the shell between a fertilized egg and one that isn't fertilized.

[cabaganisabela]

You must be kidding and misleading other people since it is the germinal disc that matters on fertilized eggs.

[soundmite]

Your chickens and eggs look incredible. What do you feed your chickens?

[davidtrees]

The colour of your eggs as compared to the store bought eggs is vivid and noticeable. Here in the UK, Free Range means actually free to range through a small door somewhere in the hen house. The chooks might need to walk past a few thousand other chooks to get to it. It's a farce. Here I only buy Woodland Eggs. As they are ranged on fresh pasture or in a wood land setting eating bugs and scratching for "goodies". They're not as good as home eggs. Thanks for the heads up about the fertilisation too. We might need to keep a separate flock for selling/sharing and another for breeding. Didn't know the difference regardless of how technically correct you are. I get the spirit of what you're saying and so thanks.
