    If you look at the center of the yolk, there is a white spot. No it’s not cum. But it does look like this particular egg was fertilized.

    Source: I have a rooster in my flock and about 99% of all our eggs are fertilized. It makes no difference for eating the eggs. But if I incubate them or let the hens do it, they will hatch after 21 days

      Commercial eggs aren’t fertilized. Most backyard chicken eggs aren’t fertilized. It’s mostly homestead farmer types with roosters around their hens that have fertilized eggs. And that white spot doesn’t mean anything.
