Hello! 
So a few weeks ago, a fox ran off with my Cochin Bantam rooster...
Luckly, my hen laid many of his last descendants. Unfortunately, my incubators were stored away and I was prepared for hatching. The eggs would loose there chance at hatching in 2 weeks, so I decided, if they’re gonna die anyway, why not put them in the greenhouse? It’s warm up to 100 degrees, and humid! So I did.. first 4 days and nothing was happening. (These eggs are almost white, so very easy to candle)...
No vessels, no spots, nothing. But today... something really freaky happened.. I candled a random one from the batch and this is what I saw; the air sac was bigger, (not too big) The was it is during the 2nd-3rd week. At the top of the egg, there was a huge dark spot. A big shadow like a day-14 embryo.. it wasn’t moving, and there were no veins or blood vessels. Not one. I checked some more and 8 eggs out of 3 Dozen had the same shadow. It looked just like a 2nd-3rd week embryo, (which is physically IMPOSSIBLE when it’s only day 5 or 6)...
Freaky... 
Does anyone know what this may be?? Anyone have the same issue?? Please let me know! I can’t find anything! I’m debating on whether or not o should crack one open and see...
I can try to get a pic tomorrow..
Please help me!
