what is a blood ring?? is that the chick dead or dieing if so how does that happen sorry I am green

Thanks so much..nothing is quite as good as having a visual aid to compare with..

I think the best example of a blood ring and how it happens is this. The chick is forming and blood is pulsing through the veins. Then, for whatever reason, the chick dies, all the blood stops pulsing through the existing veins and basically falls to the bottom most part of the vein pool. Therefore leaving a ring around the middle where the yolk sac is.
