On day 10 incubating a d'Uccle egg. Candled it, I can barely see any veining, but instead of a single black spot, there are 3. Anyone know what this is?
 
Can you post pictures? It could be meat spots in the egg, just some odd embryo development, or there is a very rare chance that there are three embryos developing.

Hmm, to me that looks like it might have started and quit and the blood pooled in those three spots. I wouldn't give up on it yet but if you don't see more development by day 15 or 16 I'd probably toss it :(

thank you for your help, I'll watch it.
 
It looks dead to me. Don't toss it just in case though. I suggest putting a cupcake wrapper under it just in case it leaks so it doesn't get stuck to the turner and explode. My batch is working on hatching and I had one that looked exactly like that. It was dead. Here is the pic I took-
