Blood Ring??

[Ducklover1999]

Okay, so I have been incubating turkey eggs. This is my first time ever doing something like this, so I am not 100% sure what I am looking at when candling. I’m pretty sure this is blood ring, but just want to see what others think as well. Thanks!!

The blood rings that I have seen, go the other way, around the middle of the egg, not from end to end.

I have never seen a blood ring like that either. How are you incubating them? on side manually turning or upright in an automatic turner? What day are they on?

I had a couple of Muscovy duck eggs that ended up being blood rings and they were that way round. Keep it in until you are absolutely sure because sometimes they can look like a blood ring but it's just the start of veining (presenting in a bit of a weird way). If it has stopped the blood ring will start to break up and compared to your other eggs this one will look lighter because the foetus isn't growing. There's no danger in leaving it in the incubator until you are sure.

Egg embryos look like that under a broody - at least, mine did.
Have you been incubating under a broody?
