Put it back in the shell or you'll have a helluva time incubating it.

tiny compact bright white spot with no ring....and no clear spot in the middle of the white spot.
If I'm honest, I don't see much diff between your infertile one and my apparent fertile one.

Look harder ;-P yours has a little dark spot in the middle of the white disk. mine doesn't.
the little darker area is the actual embryo starting to develop. my picture sucks anyways....it's a bit far away. trust me, yours is fertilized....apparently if you put it in a glass it will turn into a chicken ;-P

yeah well, glass (or more accurately, el cheapo plastic wine glass) incubating doesn't work....so...i'm going to try getting "sofe-is-ti-cated" and try plastic wrap or something next time (it's that other thread in incubating). problem is the surface is drying out. precisely what the egg shell is needed to stop.

I just went and read that thread. I haven't been on it since page 2. Very interesting. Looking forward to seeing how it develops over time.

Those are great pictures Colleen. Can I use them for some material I am putting together for some young chicken enthusiasts?
