Candling pic clarification please

I agree with @Pyxis looks like the network just didn’t fill the egg. If it hatches, it will likely be really gooey and will hatch super wet. But the goo will harden like a rock, so be sure to clean the face. It will flake off of the feathers with a little rubbing (I brush with a soft dry toothbrush, if necessary, after a day or so of letting the baby work most of it off), but it is tough to clean if it hardens around the eyes and beak. Best to wash the face with a slightly damp towel or cotton ball, shortly after hatch.

Thank you so much. I found it so odd that it happened to 2 of the eggs, which were laid a day apart. Now I feel at least a little more prepared for it they do make it. I appreciate the tip!

I had it with my last batch of Welsh. I turned a few extra times so that the empty space spent more time on top and the edge of it was up or on the edge of that area.

Did they end up hatching ok? Which side did you make sure was up when you went into lockdown?

I had one that had issues. The rest hatched out very well. I put up the side that had the largest dip in the egg air cell faced up.
