I had an egg hatch 7 days after rest hatched on time. My broody left the eggs after 11 had hatched, so I scooped up the remaining three and put them in the incubator. Two stopped, but this last one, I could see clear movement, so I left it for a couple days, came home and their was a furball in...

I’m not sure what you are seeing. Do you have a picture? What day in your incubation is it?

Quitter? Is it a yolk, no eye?

Beautiful lot! I haven’t seen a grey egg 👀
