The blastoderm or white spot on the egg is what forms the chick. The yolk is what feeds the chick. And the white functions like the placenta.

The female egg that gets fertilized by the roosters sperm is in the yoke. The egg is releast and then the yoke forms around it☀️❤️☀️

@Joshua Hunter You are 100% correct. I am sad to say, I try to never leave a negative response on anyone's page, but to think someone will think they are learning something here is scary. WOW Becky - your "info" here on chick embryo development is wrong. At the time of laying, hundreds of cells are grouped in a small, whitish spot (the blastoderm or GERMINAL DISC) that is easily seen on the surface of the yolk. *This spot in a fertilized, freshly laid egg is the beginning of the chick.* The germinal disc is NOT part of the yolk. LOOK IT UP on any of the stage extension service 4-H websites for the simple explanation. Not hearsay. extension.psu.edu/programs/4-h/projects/poultry/raising-rearing/viii.-other-on-line-resources/embryo-development/where-chick-life-begins

The “germinal disc” is on the outside of the yolk and becomes the embryo. The yolk is a food source for the embryo. The egg white is a cushion of protection around the food source and embryo. And the yolk and embryo are kept in the middle of the egg white by chalaza.

Please stop being so stubborn about this Becky. You can google it right now. The yolk is the food for the chick…we can compare it to a placenta in mammal pregnancies. A developing mammalian fetus is attached to & nourished by the placenta. The white of the egg can be compared to amniotic fluid during a mammal pregnancy. You’ve got it reversed dear. It’s ok to be wrong sometimes.

@little_to_no_opinion6788
@little_to_no_opinion6788 4 жыл бұрын
Sorry if I'm a little late to the party, but I can answer your question: The hen starts laying fertile eggs about 3 days after her and the rooster mated. It could be the second day after or the 4, I believe. It doesn't always land on the 3rd day exactly. And no, the hen does not know which are fertile or not. She sits on all of them until she either gives up, chicks hatch, or the owner makes her give up. (Some hens are so persistent they will sit on unfertilized eggs until something happens, and during this time the hen barely eats or drinks, putting all her time and energy into these eggs. So sometimes for the benefit of the hen, you have to make her stop) I am not an expert, I am only speaking from my experiences.

Becky is absolutely correct when she spoke about the yolk becoming the chick! If the egg is fertilized you will see a noticeable Birdseye spot in the yolk which is the first cluster of cells of that baby chick. She knows her stuff contrary to what everyone else has been told over the years about egg yolks and the whites. Thanks so much for your information, Becky! I sure have learned so much from you 🙏

I'm soooooo brand spanking new to chickens after adopting a move in rooster but I'm trying to figure out what to do if I want to have a couple of fertilized eggs in case I sadly lose a hen or two. This video is helpful as all get out but I'm still a bit confused because of my totally new status. So if you want to have 1 or 2 eggs fertilized, do you just leave 1 or 2 in the coop and see what happens? Also, how do you know they are fertilized? (Please forgive my ignorance. I just want to make sure I know every single thing I need to before I buy my chics. Hubs and I decided we would start building a coop next weekend and will probably buy in the fall. I am the kind of lifetime pet owner so I want to make sure I do everything right.) Thank you so so much for your understanding. Your channel is absolutely WONDERFUL! I love it! You are such a wonderful teacher!

From my knowledge the eggs can't be fertilized once the hen lays them, the rooster has "sex" with the hen and his sperm cloud gets inside the hen and then she lays fertilized eggs. You can tell if an egg is fertilized if it has what looks like a little flake of pepper in it, dont be worried about being new it's ones of those things you have to learn from hands on experience and making your own mistakes. Good luck to you👍

Hi, Nancy! It's called a blood spot. So, the yolk is technically a follicle inside the hen. The membranes around it are filled with blood vessels that bring nutrients to the yolk. The follicle ruptures (ovulation) everywhere except this white line called the stigma or suture line. Sometimes, the follicle doesn't break along that line. Sometimes, it breaks where there are blood vessels, causing the blood spot. That is not an embryo, just a speck of the hen's blood. It is technically edible, but not appetizing to consumers. Hope this helps!

Becky's Homestead I know what you meant, I watched the whole video and I saw you kindly clarify in the comments. I’m not trying to say anything or rudely criticize I was just saying I liked the video, despite what some of the comments said (specifically about the location of where the chicken grows in the egg), everyone slips up just a wee bit every once in a while, even people who have practiced and worked hard at something for a long time, as human beings it’s a weakness we all share. Some of the people commenting were a little harsh though. Also, is this a new series your making or have you made any *more than you ever wanted to know* videos before. I thought it was pretty interesting.

To make an egg no, to make a fertilized egg that could potentially hatch into a chick, yes. Hens lay 1 egg a day when they're at their max capacity.

Hey Miss Becky I have one question I finally got my chicks when I bought them they were three weeks old and they are beautiful little girls I can't wait to see them turn into mature laying ladies laying all those beautiful brown eggs anyway my question to you is I want to free-range my chickens in my backyard I have them in a temporary Coop right now but when they get a little older I will be letting them out to free range in my yard I have a 6-foot privacy fence all the way around my property but I'm worried about chicken hawks so that's what we call them here in South Carolina or red tail hawks what do you think I could do to keep the Hawks away from my new spring chickens

Put up a white scarecrow in your chicken yard. Hawks shouldn't bother your chickens then.
@jennafisher8403

Plant some trees or don't mow a section of your backyard so the chicks can hide when they can't make it to the coop. Also a good rooster will take care of that problem.

Great information Becky! I was also curious how you know which eggs are fertilized and which aren’t in a mixed flock? If a broody hen sits on a bunch of eggs and there’s a rooster in the vicinity, are they usually all fertilized?
@BeckysHomestead
@BeckysHomestead 5 жыл бұрын
If you have a rooster and they all run free, you can pretty much assume all the eggs are fertile☀️❤️☀️

Wrong again. The hen has to let the rooster top her. If she doesn't like the rooster she will not squat for him.

So say you have an egg that has been fertilized by your rooster. That egg becomes of age to start laying… do you need a different rooster? I guess what I’m asking is, do you need to worry about inbreeding?
