Egg looks split vertically

So I got a new horizontal incubator, meaning you lay the eggs on their side. It’s supposedly turning them every 2 hrs. However when I candle (day 8), half will be clear and the other half dark. What’s causing this separation? Is this normal for a horizontal incubator? I see movement in all the eggs inside the dark half.

Yes very normal. That means it is growing!

Everything is fine!

That looks odd to me, I'd wait for more information.

Odd to me too! Never candled an egg that looked like this but all 15 eggs in this batch look the same.

I noticed the same in my eggs but I've only used a horizontal incubator and I've only hatched one batch (so very new still!). My eggs that looked like that were all developing normally.

When in doubt just keep them in the incubator then wait and see!
