To see the difference between fertilized and unfertilized eggs we can use a certain methods. In poultry industry, this process called candling. Basically in this process, we put the eggs in front of a certain light, so we can see through. We can practice this at home by using a bright flash light in a dark room. After we see through, the unfertilized egg's yolk will be seen as a dark round thing. But in fertilized egg's yolk, there will be some red thread like coming out from the yolk. This method can't be done directly after the egg is being layed. Usually we do this candling process after the egg is being kept in the incubator for 72 hours. I hope this help

How do chickens make unfertalized eggs?

Chickens lay unfertilized eggs as part of their natural reproductive cycle. The hen's ovaries produce an ovum (egg) regardless of whether it has been fertilized by a rooster or not. If the egg is not fertilized, it is eventually laid by the hen.


How do you know that a chicken egg is fertile without breaking it?

When its just fresh there's no telling. After the hen has been sitting on it or has been in an incubator you can tell be holding it against a bright light (you can see blood veins in the egg) or put it in water; a fertilized egg will float, and a non fertilized egg will sick. A spoiled/ rotten egg will float as well, but it will be quiet old when that happens.


What is a dud egg from a chicken?

Many people raise chickens for their eggs. When the chicken lays the eggs and egg that is not fertilized is referred to as a dud egg. These are the eggs we get in the market. If the egg is fertilized, you will get a chick.


For how long the will the egg remain fertilized?

Once the egg is fertilized it remains fertilized until the egg is eaten, incubated or goes rotten and decays. It never goes back to being an unfertilized egg.


How can you tell if a chicken egg you just cracked open is fertilized?

You cannot tell unless the egg has been incubating for 48 to 72 hours. The fertilized egg looks no different from an unfertilized egg until the chick actually starts to form. Fertilized eggs, collected daily and refrigerated do not start the process of becoming a chick for awhile after being laid. It takes the right temperature (100F) and humidity(50%). If you are looking at a blood spot or the white spots found in a fresh egg and think that is a sign, you are mistaken. Blood spots form for many reasons, most are from internal problems in the hens oviduct. The white spots inside an egg are Chalsae, a protein that holds the yolk centered in the albumen. It is a common error by consumers. An egg that is forming into a chick will have clearly defined red lines running from the top of the yolk and spreading out on all sides. See the link below if you wish to follow the actual formation of a chick inside an egg.
