Candled Egg with dark spot

[Souperchicken]

Today is 7th day since I've put the eggs in the incubator and when I candled I noticed this dark spot that doesn't seem to be on the other eggs I candled. Could this be a blood spot and does that mean the egg is no good. What do you think?

Well I am very new to incubating, but from what I have read and been told that is the embryo starting to form.

I could be mistaking, but I am prety sure that is what it is.

Thanks for the quick reply. I hope that is what it is. This is my first time incubating in my new incubator. It looks so different than the other ones I candled, maybe it is closer to the shell.

The dark spot is a good thing - it's the developing chick!

Yay!! Now I know I have at least one good egg!
