During my unfolding experiences with broody chickens, we've had mischievous children placing ALL eggs under the 2 hens. And then, one hen broke her brood. This leaves us with many questionable eggs!

Every day I go in and remove a bunch, leaving what I think is most likely to reward my hen (and me!) Some eggs under her are really starting to develop, yay!
So, I cracked open some of the removed eggs, the ones I thought I saw weird things in the candling light into lids so that if they were fine I could freeze them for use later. 6/6 on this batch, I was right, funky things beneath the shells!

Kinda gross and definitely fascinating. This is what I got.

Tell me what you know.

pic 1 looks like day 2 development. (What I'm seeing is the large white-ish circle on the yolk.
Pic 2 looks like day 5-6 development.
Pic 3 it's hard to say. Looks like the blood vessels might be under the broken yolk? On the top left side of the bowl.
Pic 4 yellow bowl looks like there might be some veins there, or maybe a bubble it's hard to tell. Bottom white bowl very early development 3-4 days. White bowl on the right 5-6 days development.

Actually in the other pictures I can sort of see it, there is a bubble in the Yellow bowl and also a little bit of veining. I'd say that one is at day 3 development.

:D cool pics, good thing you didn't just toss them in a pot.
