How to tell if an egg is fertile.MOV

This duck egg is on its 5th day in the incubator. A couple days early to tell for sure if it is fertile, but this one is clearly fertile.

I have an auto turner so I don't mark the eggs except with an ID number. Usually you can candle at about a week.

Good luck.

Dammit I just killed an embryo whilst cracking an egg to make scrambled eggs to eat.

I didn't bother to check if my eggs were fertilized or not. Lesson learned

mine are day 7 and i cant see embryo all i see is blood ring, red pure veins, 2 tiny black spots, and where is the location of the embryo anyways?

@Mcarpenter17 I think that was an 'O' marking on it. So they could keep track of turning.

Most people put x's and o's on opposite side of the eggs,
