Grisly question here. To make things short, I have eggs incubating and did my day seven candling. Two eggs appeared obviously sloshing and empty of signs of life so I decided to take them out. I tend to crack the eggs and see if the eggs had signs of life, death or never became fertile. One was infertile, and the other had a small embryo. To my absolute horror it had a heart and a heartbeat pounding from its chest. I have never seen anything like it in my ten years of raising eggs, it would not stop “living” for what seemed like ten mins so I put it out of whatever misery an embryo on the concrete could feel. Can someone explain why it wouldn’t have died or stopped having a heart beat? How long would it have been able to continue beating outside the shell at 7 days?
Thank you!
Thank you!
