Early embryonic death?

[Linda3]

hi all, I’m new here and incubating Conure eggs (hope it’s ok that it’s not chickens!) anyway, I removed an egg this morning that was on day 8 but had a red ring! Just two days ago it was looking great! I’m assuming it was an early embryonic death! Should I have left it a bit longer? Thanks!

First and foremost...! I hope that you enjoy this site as much as the rest of us do! I have learned SOOO much from this site, and I hope that you do too!! Secondly... (sadly) I think that your egg is dead. I don't think that you should leave it any longer in case it decides to explode on the others...

Good luck!

Thanks, I always got good info from this site from googling my questions and finally decided to join I also put in a defrosted frozen egg yesterday and hope it may develop! My Conure’s are laying early! It’s still winter and was minus degrees yesterday morning so the egg froze before I got to it!

You can’t use that egg unfortunately it will not work even if you refrigerate it, it dies I’m sorry

Thought it’s still worth a try! I saw some post they successfully hatched frozen chicken eggs!

Oh wow that’s cool I’ve been doing chickens my whole life! It might happen if it froze instantly!I learn something new every day
