This method of cracking the egg open is only good when you sacrifice one egg just to see if your rooster is fertile. Candling the egg is still the best to not sacrifice an egg and to tell how good your rooster is at spreading his seed around the ladies based on how many eggs start to develope which means those eggs were fertile even if they don't hatch. Every egg fertilized doesn't alway hatch. Could be other factors like, disease, genetics in the parents, contamination in the egg or on the egg or the incubator itself, temperature, storage of the eggs just to name some.

I raise both Quail and chickens. We happen to eat our eggs as well as raise for meat. So cracking an egg and looking at it before I toss it into a pan seems much easier than incubating 12 eggs and them rotting. If one chose to, they could simply look at all the eggs they cracked before eating them and getting an average rather than waiting to candle or hatch. I have many male Quail who service only 4 females a piece. They are well regulated and watched. I know which male breeds every single female and mark each egg. I understand your point, but, I find my way less demanding.

Great help. Got some eggs from my uncle with chickens and rooster. Saw the markings while cooking them up and I can let him know now that he can raise baby chickens, which is his goal.

That kid grabbed his rooster my rooster will start running at me when I get 20 feet close to the coop Update: the rooster is now in the freezer and has 2 sons and 1 grandson that took over, out of the 5 roosters 3 are related to him and only one is mean like him, 2 are defensive but not mean. (He had one son in the past that was bad on the hens but was nice to us, he is also in the freezer)

I don't understand why you would show the first method most people if they want to know if a egg is fertile or not it's because they want to hatch it not waste perfectly good protein

Just for a shelled visual. obviously you wouldn't want to put an egg with any sort of cracks into your incubator 😂

you haveto test a few before you can start putting them under a chicken to hatch if you check one after the next 10days the eggs should be fertile without hatching them
