Early hatch or dead egg??

[Cassye Wisell]

Hey all this is my first time hatching eggs and I have done a ton of research and one of my eggs has me puzzled. I have attached pictures. We are nearing the end of day 18 and going on lockdown. This one has been thriving and now I am not so sure? This morning it had something oozing out of it and so I candles it. But it’s very dark and does not stink at all. I am heating up another incubator to lock down this egg by itself in case it might explode or is it just an early Hatcher? Hopefully I can get some reassurance here. Thanks

Hi there, if it's oozing i would toss it and avoid having to clean up a nasty mess. It's too early to hatch and the egg should be almost totally dark except where the air cell is. I'd say that's a quitter.
