If you crack it open, a fertile egg can be identified by a small white circle on the yolk, that has a ‘bullseye’ like shape – i.e. one small white circle, with another white ring on the outside of it. This is created by a cluster of cells that, if incubated, will hopefully develop into a baby chick.

Will eggs still hatch if they get cold?
Eggs which have been subjected to freezing conditions (in the coop or in shipping) will have suffered damage to their internal structures and are highly unlikely to hatch. Incubation during this time of year due to the temperatures will have to occur indoors with a stable temperature.
