Day 2 incubation-candling!?!

I'll have a pic soon. My husband took the pics for me while I held the egg and light. The pics are on his phone so I need him to send them to me...

This egg was laid yesterday morning. This morning there was a small yellow orb inside. Later on it was about 3 times the size and looked like it was splitting. Tonight it looks like when you break the yolk in a bowl, how they start to leak and mix into the whites... I feel like in incubation this isn’t how it’s supposed to be but I’m new to this... is this normal? The egg laid the day before does not look like that. It’s little orb is still a little orb.

It kinda starts to blend together but you can't see anything developing on day 2. I'd check again day 5 if it's a light colored egg or 7 if darker.

I tried to get a pic of the air sac. You can kinda see the outline of it in the first pic.

These pics aren't the best. Cameras are tricky to get to focus on lights in the dark. But in person it looks just like a broken yolk in the whites.

Day 2 is too early to see anything.

It looks alright to me.

Give it a chance to develop some. The more you handle it, the more you are inviting opportunity for failure of the development process. I just want you to have a good hatch so sit back and let the incubator do its thing...

1 egg per day for the past 7 days. Eggs #1&3 have visible heartbeats. Egg #2 that I’ve questioned since day 2 still looks scrambled and has no veins or any signs of life so I think that ones getting tossed. Other than that things seem to be going well.
