Fertilized eggs but no rooster??

[tlcmurphy]

I haven't slept well, the last couple nights. Must've misread something somewhere.

No problem, I didn’t want to seem argumentative, especially now that I’ve confused myself

Infertile hens are both ways actually. They'll lay eggs that never develop offspring, or never lay eggs.
I've got an Infertile dwarf that doesn't lay eggs.

So what were you trying to say about OP's eggs in the first place?

That they have not been fertilized but otherwise look like normal eggs (the kind that could hatch if a rooster had been around at the right point before they were laid)?

I would think that eggs unable to be fertilized/develop chicks would be pretty rare, and would usually be recognized as weird (example: egg with no yolk). Or is there something I'm missing here?

It's fine.

I was saying they're fertile, capable of producing chicks if they get fertilized. Yes which makes them normal.


It's rare to have infertile eggs from hens, yes, but it's also rare to have infertile hens that don't lay eggs.
