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.

Hey, but thanks for watching and supporting my content! ๐ https://www.selfsufficientme.com/
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?
This is not correct.
I think you should remove this video and make another with the correct information. It kind of makes you look dumb.
It's all about the white spot on the yolk
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.
Well I just cracked open fertile eggs using the advice from the comments…
Just pass the bacon
The white dot on the yolk is the baby btw, lmao sperm in a yolk
Video starts from 0:20
My one died ๐
So r eggs chickens? I dont wanna eat eggs till i know
I can't even watch the video because fertilized is spelled improperly.
What kind of rooster do you have?
Your chickens and eggs look incredible. What do you feed your chickens?
Idk why but now I really want a pet quail . – .
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.
Thank you, helpful, but…. I need to break an egg ๐
Can you hatch em if they are fertilised theoritically ?
Take this stupid video down! You can't even spell fertilized correctly. LOL
is there any nutritional difference?
You sound like a bot
Thanks a lot.
Of course it shows me an ad for a McMuffin
This video gives misinformation. Please delete it.
You have no idea what your talking about absolutely none I raise chickens go talk to. An expert your clueless and misleading people
