    Possible blood Ring?

    This is a 7 day set peafowl egg. I am thinking it is a blood ring. I am also charting the weights. This egg in question is #3 (my other possible dud is #6) I got weights before I knew the candling results and strangely enough they are my two statistical outliers. (Although I would think there...

    Inside the Legendary Blood Ring! (warning: embryo pics)

    Perhaps nothing is more mythic, feared, or misunderstood amongst novice incubators than the dreaded 'blood ring,' but what is it, really? The internet has all sorts of ideas: overgrowth of bacteria, decaying blood vessels clumping together, the most obvious and common sign of embryonic...

    Is this the start of a blood ring?

    New to incubating eggs. I've had this guy for about a week now. Anyone know what this is/if it's the start of a blood ring? I can still see the embryo moving inside. Both the emnryo and whatever that red mass is seem to be growing at the same rate. I would appreciate any feedback!!

    Is this a blood ring?

    Hello all and thanks for this amazing forum! I’ve been reading many threads in here and also incubating some duck eggs. This is my first time incubating, and I’m quite worried about this egg. The first few days, we turned the eggs horizontally by hand, twice a day. Everything was going great...

    Is this considered blood ring?

    This is my first time incubating. I did let them sit in the incubator for 9 days before my first candling. One of my eggs appears to have a large reddish spot. I don’t see anything else in it but I might be overlooking something.There is no smell or anything. Is this considered a blood ring?

    Blood Ring, Possibly Still Alive?

    It’s day 17 and I have three eggs with a blood ring. The first one I saw when I checked goes all the way around the egg in the middle. When I checked it the next day the blood ring is like it’s not attached to the shell and moved around when I turned the egg unlike the day before where it...

    Possible blood ring

    Hi, so I want to preface by saying that I'm not normally a chicky person. A friend brought over farm fresh eggs but when I was making my breakfast yesterday one of the eggs was too fresh if you know what I mean. I felt really bad about killing an egg that had a viable embryo in it and so I...

    Is this a blood ring? (Quail eggs)

    Hi. This is my first time incubating eggs. I am using a cheap chinese incubator, and thus the temps are not very uniform and I expect the mortality rate to be quite high. I am wondering, is this a blood ring? Should I discard this egg?

    Is this a blood ring? (Incubation Day 6)

    Hello, I am completely new to this site and very new to incubating chicken eggs. I made my very own incubator, and before anyone says anything about "why are you wasting time making one when you can just buy one? etc..." some people just like to build things and have the free time to do it. I...

    Blood ring? Bad egg?

    Hey guys! I've had my suspicions that this is a blood ring for a while, but man I didn't want to admit it... The embryo still looks like it's growing but the ring is making me too anxious so I finally have to post and ask for a second opinion. He's on day 16 but there was about a week and a half...

    Blood Ring? Spraying eggs?

    Help!!!! First time egg hatcher here! I can’t tell if this is a blood ring or not :hit Also, I read spraying duck eggs with water after day 10 is good for them so, not having a spray bottle, I cleaned out a bottle of hair detangler, rinsing it out with water multiple times. I didn’t realize...

    *candling pics help* blood ring?

    Does this look like the beginning of a blood ring? It spider veins, but it looks like it’s starting to pool in a ring? Thoughts?

    Im so nervous!

    Day 7 into incubating Silkie eggs. Candled today and 2 out of 12 had blood rings so I removed. I thought it would be more clear to me if the others were doing ok but seems the air cells were too big, maybe some still detached?! I was nervous and wanted to get them back in right away. Eggs were...
