Um hi ,today I was candling and this made me a bit crazy,is there anything wrong with this egg at all,it seems um I don’t know the vessels are,honestly idk if something is wrong with it can someone please take a look please?View attachment 2935242

It appears to me from the picture that one has expired and the veins are starting to break down.
No harm in leaving it a little longer to be certain but I wouldn't count on that one hatching.

Those are disconnected blood vessels clotting up like a disconnected blood ring and unfortunately when you see that the veins die off shortly after along with the duckling.

I’ve had several still hatch, when they’ve looked like that, so don’t remove it just yet.

I’ve gotten so scared that I kept candling every hour,the clots are becoming darker but the veins are all visible,STILL.so I found out by researching that u can prevent bacteria from entering an egg by wrapping PAPER TOWEL around them(and that too to store fertile eggs)so I don’t know why I did it but um…I did,I only wrapped where the clots were,below the embryo.I guess it’ll stop bacteria?

Does the egg smell bad, you want to be careful nothing is leaking or in case the egg was bad it exploding in your incubator.

It’s not necessarily bacteria. Don’t panic yet.

Can you post a link to where you found that a paper towel will prevent bacteria? I don’t buy it.

No there’s no bad smell its just clotted,nothing else.
