Could these eggs be quitters?

[Knighstar679]

I have two sets of eggs going, one set of welsh harlequin eggs from my flock that had been stored in the fridge for two weeks, and one set of shipped call duck eggs.

I am a candle junky so I like to candle my eggs often or a few from my incubation often. I have two that had a very different look to the others.

first up is fridge eggs. All these eggs but one are showing wiggles in them on day 9/10 save one which also seems to have lighter veins today. They are in the same incubator and get moved by the side turning so they haven’t sat in cold vs warm spots.

Egg 3 is the egg which I can’t see moving and egg 5 is a comparison egg of the rest of them.



Next up we have what have been nick named the duck apocalypse eggs. These are call duck eggs that were shipped to me. I have one egg that I can no longer see the little embryo in and the veins seem off to me. There is also a tiny line blob in the air cell that wasn’t there before that has no veins going to it.


4 is the egg I think is quitting and 13 is a comparison egg of what the other.


Thanks for any insight.

So far they all look alive and well. If they quit, the veins will break down and it'll be pretty obvious So for now, they're definitely alive and doing fine.

I agree with Pyxis! I wouldn't give up on those eggs yet!

I had planned to leave them in for now. But I have read way to many horror stories of exploding eggs not to be watchful of quitter eggs so I always remove them to be safe. I hope these little egglets chug along though.

I would just put a question mark on them since you're doubting those two specifically and keep an eye on them. Better yet, keep a nose on them. You'll be able to smell an egg well before it explodes
