I have just candled my RIR eggs at 7 days and found one just as you described..unfortunately I hadn't read the forum BEFORE I broke it open to see what was wrong with that egg...it exploded on contact with the brick I was using to crack it open..just by luck it didn't fly all over me...ewwww what a MESS!!

OHHHH! I am glad you were far enough away! What a stinky mess. Hopefully you were outside! My husband had one explode in the bator he picked it up and candled and when he sat it on the screen, it exploded all over the wall and him, it was not good. kind of funny but not good.....ok VERY FUNNY!!!!

Yeah but if they move inside it is not the black globby that i am talking about. This globby you cannot even tell anything a feather or legs or anything it is like a black yolk. Turn it upside down on the candler and see what you see. Oh it is hard to explain!

The one that I had that was bad had a kind of cloudy look to it as well.
