Sit on it. If it hatches it's fertilized. If it start stinking, it's not.
Sorry, I'm a country girl that used to have chickens but I have no clue if there's any other way to find out!
There is actually a process called candling. You use a light and piece of cardboard with a hole just larger than a pin hole. You shine the light on one side and hold the egg on the other side (you do this after the egg is about a week old) you do this in a darker area and if the egg looks clear it's NOT fertile, if there is a dark spot, it IS fertile. As far as when you crack it open an infertile egg has an irregularly shaped blastodisc, a fertile egg has a perfectly round blastoderm.......that's that white spot near the yolk :) HTHs! LOL
There is a spot of blood in the yolk, that is the baby chick.
Do you have any roosters running around in the yard? This is a good sign.
I have no idea. God made me a city girl for a good reason. :)
Actually it made me think about the time one of our friends wanted me to step in on a conversation with our then 5 year old son.
This friend had a female bird and he mentioned how she had some eggs that weren't any good. Of course my "all questions" son wanted to know why they weren't any good. I just sat back and laughed. The friend looked at me like now how do I explain this to a 5 year old.
My husband and I still laugh about it.
