Help, it is day 25 of incubation I'm just about to start lock down and one of my eggs have turned discoloured overnight. It was fine yesterday but it was orange on the inside. The others look normal, and I can see them trying to pip inside aswell as no orange tinge. Is it ready to hatch or has it died? This is my first hatch so I'm really anxious. Thank you

I’m sorry but it looks like it’s died. Not your fault it just happens some times😞.

Oh :( that is very upsetting. Tonight is lockdown, do you think I should remove it? Weirdly I noticed the humidity has started playing up and going too high since this egg has turned up discoloured. Could the two be related? Iv had perfect humidity for 25 days and now suddenly it's creeping too high. Thanks for your reply

This looks like bruising to me.

Thank you I just read it. Upon candling Iv seen no sign of life for 2 days, with the others I can see their beaks pipping. I just don't know wether to leave it or throw it as tonight is lock down
I would toss it. If you leave it in, it will possibly explode. Contaminating the other eggs.
