Is this egg fertile from my 5 ISA browns without a rooster??

Well I wud say it's a bit funny that it's only the 2 eggs I chose to incubate that have a "thicker shell' if it ain't veins or development wudnt U say? As all the others in the cold draw every single one of them is totally different.. completely clear can see all way thru every single one of them out the cold draw and see the dark air sack at end of egg, where as my incubated 2 there's clearly a dark network of something happening inside those 2.. I can't see thru the only 2 I'm incubating but I can see perfectly clearly thru every single one of the eggs in the cold draw... The incubated 2 are deffo different to every single one the others in cold draw iv just checked every single one of them.. all clear can see thru every one of em n not able to with the 2 that I'm incubating...

Now From cold draw un incubated no dark network going thru it can see straight thru every egg from cold drawView attachment 4009404View attachment 4009405View attachment 4009403

Did you candle the two eggs you are incubating before incubating them? Maybe you could put some of the clear eggs in as well knowing that you will be able to see through their shells easier.

The clear ones have been sitting for at least a week in near 0c temperature my friend no point... I did the 2 incubated eggs fresh..

In my flock I have some chickens that lay eggs that look more clear and some that lay eggs similar to how your incubated ones look, with lighter colored spots. It is really hard to tell from the pics but I don’t see any clear veining. I think it’s a great experiment though. Maybe you can try some others. I would try for at least one egg from each hen!

So I managed to fashion a candle lighting torch out of my head torch n wrapping some black bags and tape around it to do the job so I cud take some photos with my phone that was using to candle em before, it has been about 7 or 8 days now since i started incubating, first is the eggs just kept in cold set of draws no viens just clear with a dark air sack at end if that's what it's called? Then the 2 iv been incubating with networks of viens it seems after I found the white dot with ring around it In My yolk from my hens.. So what do you make of that then??? Fertile eggs without a rooster for 2 months after all???View attachment 4009363View attachment 4009364View attachment 4009365View attachment 4009367View attachment 4009368View attachment 4009369 U get the idea..

Now is the 2 incubated eggs after I noticed the white dot with clear white ring around it in my yolk of my fried egg from my ISA brown hens.. clearly can see lots of network of veins everywhere??? Or is that just thicker shells? Bit of a co incident that it is only the 2 incubated eggs that have this in them and all the eggs in cold draw I checked are just totally clear with a dark egg sack at end??View attachment 4009374View attachment 4009377View attachment 4009376View attachment 4009378View attachment 4009379View attachment 4009380View attachment 4009383

I don’t see any veins… sorry

Those do not look like veins, it is a different shell as everyone else has said. I’m not sure if you could get to hatch with that set up anyway, as there is no regulated humidity and no turning (correct me if I’m wrong here), so if you wanted to crack one open and see what’s inside , or if you get to hatch date and the eggs don’t hatch , peek inside then.

It is regulated re read the whole thread mate.. in a relative room in a heat tray I side this plastic tub between 30c and 37c.. and again incorrect iv drawn an x on them and turning them every few hours..

I saw the post with the info, I have read this whole thread, sorry I must have missed the humidity thing and the turning. I guess we’ll just wait and see how it goes, good luck!

I still do not see it, but as I said, there are several explanations for that (maybe no veins, maybe yes veins but not showing in the photo when viewed on my computer, maybe shell too thick or darkly colored to accurately tell either way.)

It is an interesting experiment no matter which way it comes out.
