Hi, can anyone give me an idea of what is going on with this one egg? Out of 6 standard Silver Appleyards I had 5 fertile, I am at the 24th day on incubation and lockdown is due, however I have got one egg that is causing me pause for thought, it is the 'WTF' egg.
On first candle all bar one (since removed) were perfectly fertile and progressing beautifully at the same speed, however on my most recent candle there is this one egg that stands out from the rest, it appears to be progressing and viable however it looks unlike the others and not like one I've had before this late in the game. I was thinking late developer? however I am just not sure, I dont want to risk leaving it in the incu if we have a potential exploder. The egg is much lighter on the interior, when candled you can see quite clearly, the air cell is good and fixed, but you can still see the yolk and a lot of "the gubbins" as the OH said, it is ticking along and you can see life inside going about its business. It is in stark contrast my others that are all viable but are dark from the growing duckling.
I am probably being paranoid and it is a slow one that is doing this in its own time. Opinion?
Yes, I did write WTF on my egg, mostly because I have been juggling a lot of eggs and hatchings presently and I kept misplacing it. I doubt it cares what is written on its shell, its only going to trash it in the end.
