Candled eggs At 7 days, Embryo but no veins

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hello

 

I candled 9 eggs I have in the incubator and im a bit worried about a few of them.

 

One of the eggs you can clearly see the embryo but no veins and on the others you can see the veins but no embryo.

 

Does this mean somethiong is wrong???

if there are no viens there is not an embryo. you are either seeing a yolk shadow or perhaps an embryo did start to form, then died leaving the iens to empty and become clear. it is perfectly normal to have a few dud eggs in a clutch. you can throw them out, leave them in (you risk a rotten egg explosion = not fun!!), or crack one open and see for yourself!

 

 

if the shell is a particularly dark color, there may be viens that are just not visible. :)
