Confused? Need advice.

[SilkieMan]

I'm incubating 3 silkie eggs, and two eggs started the process before the other one. I think the third is infertile. But anyways, my (oldest I guess I would say? Lol) egg was growing very fast and looked healthy. They are both fertile, but I candled it this
Morning, and the yolk is very big, and there's a large shadow at the fat bottom part of the egg, and it wasn't there yesterday. Theres still big red veins on the side, but I was just wondering if this is normal? I hope it's still alive. Any advice? Will be well appreciated!

What day of incubation are you on?

 

[silky ma]

I would let it go a few more days and if you continue to see growth. Check your egg against the
Hatching Calendar link below.

I don't even candle until day 10. Give it time.

Boiled eggs for dinner anyone ?!?!?



Seriously, I don't check until days 7-8. But I don't chuck anything based on that , I'm just being curious .

As long as you are seeing veins the egg is fine. When the chick dies the veins are the first thing to disappear and the blood from them pools into the center of the egg and is called a blood ring. Happy Hatching!
