Is this egg fertile? (Yolk photo)

I’ll be in total shock if so- I would never think that my frizzles could get pregnant with all those feathers blocking their vent.

It looks fertile, but the blastoderm shape looks smeared unlike more defined shape that you would see in other eggs.

Try incubating it to see if it will develop based on what you have.

Yes, it's fertile. Chickens can't get "pregnant" though, haha. Birds have a harder time mating when they have a lot of vent feathers, but it's definitely possible. Bantam roosters can even breed large fowl hens.

That usually happens if the egg was left in a warm location, such as the coop, for a while. The blastoderm starts to enlarge and the cells begin to multiply.

Yeah I know that birds aren’t mammals, I like to have fun with the words I choose.

Hmmm… is the image above a fertilized egg that was ruined by the warm environment? Like it’s no longer viable? I actually took it out a day prior to eat so I thought it moved from some kind of shaking or something.

It's not ruined, no. It had just started preparing to develop. Perfectly fine to eat.

I agree it's fertile! Will still be delicious! Enjoy!
