Blood Ring, Possibly Still Alive?

[Renada_]

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 stayed still. I read somewhere that half of the eggs with blood rings are still alive, so I don’t know what to do about the three with rings. I have left them for about 4 days now after discovery and there is no smell in the bator. Just curious if I should just pull them out now or wait until hatch.

Can you post pictures? If there is a blood ring then it's been dead for a while.

Blood rings always means there dead. And when you shift the egg around the inside content should never move. Another indication that it's dead.

Here’s the eggs, I’m pretty positive the first two are dead. I just don’t want to have a chance that one is alive.

What day are they on?

3rd one looks iffy.

What day are they on?

17 they go on lockdown tomorrow. I am positive the first two are dead, but the last green one I’m not sure on.

They are all long dead.

Okay, I really just didn’t want to jump the gun and kill any potentially living ones.

If it doesn't smell rotten leave it in there but label the egg with a ? Mark.

You will need to do a once a day sniff test while there in lockdown. If the egg explodes, all your remaining eggs will die due to high levels of bacteria growth.
