candling before setting---dark spot

[slickchick]

I candled my eggs tonight to check for any cracks...no cracks but one of the eggs has a black dot floating around in it..what is this? I plan to set them in the morning.....

Spin the egg on the candler, if the dot moves fast, it's probably a bloodspot.

It does move fast....is it bad?

I'm not sure exactly, sorry. I was in poultry judging and know bloodspots are removed from the cartons... I will try to find out though!

Is this any help at all?
