People often ask if a red mark like this means the eggs is fertilized and developing. The answer is no. This is a called a checked egg, birds can be clumsy, and the hen here likely had a hard landing, leaving a tiny blood spot in the egg. But both of these yolks ARE fertilized. If you look closely, there's a small white spot on both, called a "bullseye" which shows that the egg is fertilized. These were from cracked eggs, so they're going to the dogs breakfast (in case you're curious what the rest is). #eggsofinstagram #eggs #fertilization #checkedeggs #chicken #dogsdinner https://www.instagram.com/p/COYr1YBH0Ns/?igshid=nxs81odkz9t
