Hello all! I'm about to start my chicken raising adventures...again! It's been about 10 years since I've raised birds. All of my incubated eggs that I had at the time came from my own chickens and ducks, so I have no transporting or shipping experience! I was pretty nervous at the idea of...

Here it is, folks! When I cracked it, it kind of shot out of the egg just like that. Super runny. Everything was pretty much pure liquid except that chunk that's shown in the shell. It was like a big chunk of tough meat.🤢

When I first found it, it was completely clear. It lit up like a Christmas bulb. Gradually over the past few days it has changed to look like this, which was why I thought maybe something tried to develop for a hot minute. I'll definitely take pics!

I know that now, I'm currently asking if it's a blood ring or something else. For science. 🤣

I was hoping! But this one doesn't look like it's developing properly otherwise, I think? There are spots against the inside of the egg but no bright red veins.

Yes, but it free floats

I tend to have a morbid curiosity about these kind of things, so I might open it up and see what it looks like inside tomorrow. This is a blood ring, right? Or something else that means it never even tried?

If anyone could give me tips on how to eliminate the camera glare, I could probably get some better pics. Everything is the wrong color when I snap a photo! Too bright, too fuzzy, and none of the fine details that I am seeing. It's frustrating.

The air cell is there. It's completely detached and floats all over the place. It's hard to see in the pictures, but it's at the top of the egg in all of them.

I am a little worried about the detatched air cell though. If there is anything possibly growing in there, I am hoping it can find the air when it's time to hatch. 😩

Definitely!! Fingers crossed, and I'm hoping to get more pictures as time goes on so I can compare them to previous days.

Maybe it's just me clinging to the idea that it's still alive, but like I said, I'm not quite ready to give up on it yet. Here is what it looks like today. I wish my pictures didn't turn out so dang fuzzy.

Ah darn! Oh well, I think I'll give it another few days before I completely give up on it. Here are some more images in the meantime. I've Had another person say incomplete blood ring as well.

So the bit that you said looks developed isn't really developed? Just kind of looks like it

I've had it since Tuesday.

I am not sure what kind of egg this is. I am thinking pigeon based on the look of it. It's bigger than a dove egg, rounded, and white. We have a LOT of pigeons in this area. I found it lying in the grass outside under an open sky, no trees around at all. I brought it inside and candled it, and...

So, one of my eggs has a very, very pointed little end. It's also kind of long. Whenever I try to prop it up, it always just slides back down. I want to give it the best possible chance with its detached air cell, but I have no idea how to keep the darned thing upright! You SNEEZE too close to...

I think either the eggs themselves have little cracks, or they were leaking on one another. I checked on them again this morning and one was covered in fresh goo. Another one for the bin, and now I'm down to ten. :(

I will definitely let you guys know how it goes! I took a very small peek earlier and one of the stickier eggs doesn't APPEAR to be cracked on the outside, but it has gooey beads all over it and it is FULL of bubbles. I figure it must have some micro-fissures. I threw it out.

That's really interesting. The three poopiest eggs aren't sticky at all, actually! Just...poopy!
