Hey friend, the last two I would hold on to and recandle 5 days to see if any growth, I've read if you have a solid clear egg it's no good BUT....if its a clear egg with a dark spot like small circle then it has a possibility, in general when looking for good eggs I like to find the baby chicks eye and watch it for some type of movement, hope this helps some.

Hi there, looks like I'll go from 30 eggs to MAYBE 10 that is a high estimate. These weren't even shipped, they were driven but in a passenger car on smooth roads, and only spent a few hours on the road.

Oh that's a shame, we're they mostly clear infertile eggs or was the cause something else, I know it's hard losing so many eggs but with experience we can learn

I'm not doing anything until Frid when I get home from work then I'll candle again and any clear or blood rings I'll take out then, of the ones I'm guessing about 20 that I will loose about 1/3 were clear and the rest blood rings (I think) I will have the actual numbers on Fri though.

Any ideas on what causes the eggs to develop blood rings???? Was it something in the incubating I did wrong??

 

[WaterFowl209]

Yes, blood rings are caused by bacteria from either unclean hands dirty nesting area things like that I thing blood rings are the most common in bad eggs

Well I didn't sanatize my hands before touching them, but they were normal clean. They went through a couple of others handling them before me so who knows.

blood ring are also caused by heet if the eggs where over 80 deg or above for a peried of time you will see a large amont of blood rings also anything that kills the embro in the early days of incubation like heet spike or jaring ex ex ex there is a verry long list but the most comun reson for blood rings is how the eggs where keep and stored pryor to setting

there is NO NEED TO SANATIZE THE EGGS chicken will try to lay them in the cleanest play they can but there is NOTHING STERAL ABOUT AN EGG IN NATURE you can find long threads about whashing eggs and most of the time washing the eggs dose more harm than good
