Blood Spot in egg - Jumping??

[Porterfive]

I have had 31 RIR eggs in the incubator for 6 days now. Most look good, a few not sure about. I am new to incubating and candleing eggs and trying to get used to what I should be seeing.
One of the eggs doesn' t look like the rest, it looks like it has a blood spot in it and veins coming off of it. The strange thing is that it seems to jump around inside however still I hold it.
Has anyone else experieinced this or know what might be going on?
Thank you.

Sounds like you are seeing the dark spot of the embryo.

Sounds like it is alive! If it has a red cloudy spot with veins around it, then it is fertile. And if it is moving on its own, then it is surely alive. I love to candle eggs, and watch the babies swirl around in there. Sometimes, I candle a few times a week just to watch them grow. Doesn't seem to bother them at all

Yep, I agree you're seeing the embryo moving around in there.

Do you see any veins in any of the other eggs?

it's a dancing peep

What do the ones look like that you consider "good"? RIR eggs are a little harder to see in than white eggs since they are brown, so it is likely you will see babies in the others soon. I am finally seeing babies pretty good in my brown eggs but the veins are still kinda hard to make out in some of the darkest ones....I am on day 8.

I have just candled them all, and have found 2 that jump like that. The others have veins but can't see the defined dark spot like in those two.
Thanks for all your replies.

I think it's play time in the egg!
