candling/blood ring??

[monster1]

i have 15 peking duck eggs in the bator from my trio. feels good to not have paid for eggs and knowing that the eggs didn't get scrambled by the post office. i candled them yesterday on day four. i have veining in all the eggs, but a few of them look like they may have a blood ring. can eggs form veining and blood rings too or am i just not knowing what i am looking at?

thanks,
monty

I wonder the same thing.

Blood rings usually circle the egg, veins are more up and down.

what i am looking at is a circular shaped red ring in the yoke area, not the whole egg.

we had what we thought was a blood ring...but we let it go for a few more days...and it ended up being a vein going around the bottom of the yolk...strange..but the chick turned out ok...

thats exactly what i have, a vein going around the base of the yolk.

i would let it go for a few more days and watch for movement ...that is what i did...and it turned out fine...dont give up hope...

yeah, the veining is more pronounced now. i only have two clears out of fifteen eggs. not bad. i am more optimistic about this set than the others because these are the first eggs i have set that haven't been shipped.
