VIDEO: Difference between a fertilised and unfertilised chicken egg


This is not a scientific explanation of yolk development into an embryo chick moreover it’s a lay observation by me about the size of the membrane coming off the yolk. I sometimes get asked if there’s a physical difference between a fertilised and unfertilised chicken egg so I cracked a few of my own and compared them to unfertilised commercial eggs. It seems to me the membrane coming off the yolk is slightly larger in a fertilised egg than in a non-fertilised egg but essentially there’s NO physical difference – I try to explain this in the video.

  1. This is not a scientific explanation of yolk development into an embryo chick moreover it's a lay observation by me about the size of the membrane coming off the yolk.

  2. So there is no way to tell when collecting if an egg has been fertilized or not? I have a move in rooster and am getting ready to buy 4 hens after I get a coop built but if I lose one, I'd probably like to have some fertilized so I can replace any I may lose. How would I tell? Is there no visual queue?

  3. Uh dude…that thing you keep pointing to is called the Chalazae, it is a string that keeps the yolk centered in the egg. See that tiny white dot that each egg has on the surface of the yolk? THAT is the germ cell. In an unfertilized egg it will be very small, in a fertilized egg it will be bigger and look like a bullseye effect.

  4. Actually, that membrane has nothing to do with fertilization….. You want to look at the tiny white spot ON the yolk itself. If it's just a spot, not fertilized, if it looks like it has a ring around it or the trademark "bullseye" then it is fertilized.

  5. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16 from the Bible โค
