What is a Fertile Egg?
In a fertile egg, the germ spot contains both the female and male cells. This allows cells to divide and the spot grows while the rest of the egg is being built in the female’s oviduct.
Because of this growth, the fertile germ spot on the yolk looks like a circle with a somewhat clear center.
