How to tell if your chicken eggs are fertile

Today in this video I show you how to see and tell if you have fertile chicken eggs or not.
It is very easy for people to assume that there eggs are fertile just because they have a rooster but this is not the case and there is a number of ways that your rooster can become infertile but for today’s video I try to keep it as simple as I can and show you what a fertile egg looks like on the inside.

How do you get it back in the shell so it can hatch?

That kid grabbed his rooster my rooster will start running at me when I get 20 feet close to the coop

Update: the rooster is now in the freezer and has 2 sons and 1 grandson that took over, out of the 5 roosters 3 are related to him and only one is mean like him, 2 are defensive but not mean. (He had one son in the past that was bad on the hens but was nice to us, he is also in the freezer)

Thank you. I had a rooster with 2 hens that has been laying for 3 week, also today i was given a 2 year old rooster and 8 year and half old hens. The roosters are fighting so separated them now i need to see if my young rooster is fertile or not and decided which rooster to keep and which to eat.

This method of cracking the egg open is only good when you sacrifice one egg just to see if your rooster is fertile. Candling the egg is still the best to not sacrifice an egg and to tell how good your rooster is at spreading his seed around the ladies based on how many eggs start to develope which means those eggs were fertile even if they don't hatch. Every egg fertilized doesn't alway hatch. Could be other factors like, disease, genetics in the parents, contamination in the egg or on the egg or the incubator itself, temperature, storage of the eggs just to name some.

I’m doing a long lone working Nightshift (North East England) and this random topic came into my head. Thanks for explaining it.

I don't understand why you would show the first method most people if they want to know if a egg is fertile or not it's because they want to hatch it not waste perfectly good protein

Great help. Got some eggs from my uncle with chickens and rooster. Saw the markings while cooking them up and I can let him know now that he can raise baby chickens, which is his goal.
