bad egg

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this egg? Looks like a partially developed egg? I have not left the eggs in the coop long enough for development. What is with the black spot inside the shell? Unfortunately this is from a carton that I sold. I obviously don't want to sell any more like...

I am on day 18, and I have 12 eggs in the incubator. Suddenly I noticed one egg that had green sports-like pours on it. I suspect it is a bad egg, but I am not sure if it is really a bad egg. I candled the egg carefully and found that it was dark with an embryo and an air sac. I did not see it...

Hi! My chickens have started laying eggs (from what I know they’re all white leghorns) and they should all be laying white eggs. This morning I went into the coop and found this brown yellow looking egg. Is there something wrong? Should I be concerned?

Duck egg on day 19 (was candling to find a different egg that had gone bad and gotten smelly) I can see movement in the egg, but also noticed those 2 black spots that look like it's going bad. They didn't shift at all when I was turning the egg. This batch of shipped eggs has been the worst...

I was walking by my incubator when I noticed this absolutely horrible smell coming out of it, when I looked in I noticed one of the eggs was rotten and was leaking. I quickly took the egg out and cleaned where it was sitting, I also candled the other eggs and noticed one other was rotten so I...

One of my hens is laying an egg with a soft spot and also has some rough texture to it. Unsure if that us calcium deposits. It also has very little color. It's almost completely white when normally a greenish color.

My daughter ( age 10) got a incubator for her birthday for her little farm. We where given eggs to fill her incubator and we have a questionable duck egg.. adding photos.. . Is it bad? No idea how long it was sitting before we picked it up but it's been in our incubator for almost 2 weeks...

Hello! New here so I need some advice. I’m incubating chickens for the first time after mainly just doing quail. I ordered eggs on eBay and noticed an egg a little cracked on the outside but thought it’d be ok in the incubator ( might’ve been my first mistake ). Things go smoothly and I go into...

I check my eggs twice a day and this morning I realized there were crystals growing on three of them. What could be the problem?

A friend gave me a Turkey egg on the 10th. She got it from her neighbors who have Turkeys but were moving. Long story. No idea how far along in the process it is or if it was ever too cold or too hot for any length of time before I got it… Brought it home and put it on a heating pad (temp...

I'm going to be hatching my own eggs in the next two days, however there are a few I'm unsure if I should even try putting in the incubator. Just as a note, I have incubated before but that was four years ago, so I'm still pretty new at it. I don't have pictures but will explain the best I...

My three geese are all sitting on a nest of about 14. They have been sitting a long time. I didn’t write down the exact date they started sitting, but it feels like too long. So today, I went and took one egg to candle it. It’s hard to see very much detail bc the shell is so thick, but it looked...

Hi, I'm on day 6 of a incubation of 6 Black copper marans (BCM), 6 Cream legbars (CL) and 12 buff orphintons (BO). Everything seems alright with all eggs (either growth or potential growth), but 3 of my beautiful BCM eggs have these small yellow/clear crystals on the outside of the shell. I'm...

I’m on about day 21 now for my duck eggs, and one of them seemed to have stopped moving. It was basically jiggling around in the egg, floated up, the veins weren’t moving and the fetus was not either. Now, about 24 hours later, it seems the egg is somewhat back to normal but everything seems...

I have 12 eggs in lockdown today is day 20 and one has hatched 2 others have external pipped and one looks cracked and is oozing. I am afraid it may explode if it is bad but I am also afraid to open the bator HELP!

One of three eggs hatched just before noon yesterday and the second in the late afternoon. The third and last egg has no signs of cracks. Is it possible that the egg is bad? Momma is still sitting very attentively on that last one but the first two and beginning to get a little bored and...

So, I've had this muscovy egg for about 30days (not really sure how old it is) This is what it looks like. The yellow thing is the air cell When not candling it you can see an orange-ish circle around he air cell as well as some grey bleuish spots , a very large oneon the back of the eggs and a...

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help. For the second time, I've allowed one of my muscovy hens to sit on eggs. It's now day 39 with no sign of ducklings so I candled the eggs. It looked like black fluid in the egg and it smelled so I took it and cracked it. First tap, the shell came off but the...
