It's called the germinal disc or blastodisc - a small, circular, white spot (2-3 mm across) on the surface of the yolk; it is where the sperm enters the egg. The nucleus of the egg is in the blastodisc.

What do Unfertilized eggs look like?

A fertilized bird egg looks exactly the same as any other egg. There's no way to tell from the outside. Inside the shell, however, it is possible to tell (although if you crack the egg open to see, you can't hatch it). All eggs have what's called a 'blastocyst' on the yolk which is just a tiny white dot. When an egg is fertilized the blastocyst turns into a blastoderm. It houses the fertile cells that will grow into a chick under proper conditions. In an unfertilized egg, the blastocyst (also called the germinal disc) is just a tiny white dot. However, in a fertilized egg, the tiny white dot changes to a larger round spot that often looks like a bullseye.
