Ella2025's Experiment Broody Hen Hatch-A-Long

[ella2025]

People have put a line of nail polish on cracks like that, apparently it doesn't hurt and might help. The only difference may be hen sitting-turning eggs vs gentle turning-nothing sitting on it in an incubator.

Thanks! I think I'll try that. Do you think the nail polish drying will make the egg cold? I think I'll find a fast drying one. Can it get into the egg.

The good news is that when candling it (sorry I forgot to take a photo of the lit up egg) I could see the air cell and the yolk with a red looking big dot on it. Since it's day 1 for this egg I was very surprised to see this much development.

That was not development, it was a blood spot. When the yolk was released to start making an egg a blood vessel ruptured and put a little blood in it. When they start developing about the first thing you will see is veins.

Blood spots are not that unusual. Good luck with the hatch.

Thank you! It looked red in the egg when candling but after cracking the egg there wasn't any red. Whenever I candle the egg always looks orange/red so maybe I just saw a spot and thought it was a red one.
