They are public domain from Internet I have been using them for years, the best I was able to find when I was getting to be an expert on Infertile eggs. :)
Also posted them in Sandy's thread, when she was trying to make her poor Silky hatch infertile eggs. ;)
Made a separate thread for future reference.

so to spill some beans.....we are going to be working on a "fowl facts" section of PTO....things like the photos of fertilized vs not fertilized eggs would be PERFECT for this project. I am going to get to it when i am off after surgery i hope, when i have a bit more time to concentrate on things like this.....so keep in mind things you'd like to see in the "fowl facts". i'll start a new thread in a bit about it, i just don't have time right now to organize the whole thing and get going on it.

Well. What a flop. I didn't think they looked fertilized which is why I put on here, but I definitely am not one to be sure on that topic. Not one egg had a chick in it. Nada. Zip. Zero. I don't know what went wrong, but all I can assume is these eggs aren't fertilized. When all 8 eggs are soup inside after 24 days no blood, no formation, nothing but liquid, then I can only point my finger in one direction. Rooster.

Poor girl, all her dedication in the garbage :(

I candled at 10 or so days and I see a dark area. I should of been more thorough on what I was to look for. Because I would of known apparently right then they were duds.

Guess no more broody mom on our own eggs until some of my EE' cockerels get older. Now to decide what to do with a rooster who doesn't. He's such a good roo for them, I can't imagine not keeping him around.

Here's an egg. No Saturn ring.

I think Kenya was talking about Artificial Insemination (AI). As I recall, Fairsing Farms has a couple of really good how-to You Tube videos, if you're thinking of giving it a try.
