Hey guys I ordered 6 pilgrim eggs on eBay and received 7, two arrived cracked so 5 went into the incubator. Just candled them (day 8) and two where obviously not developing. Two look normal but one looks a little weird so I wanted to see what you guys think.
It’s my first time incubating goose eggs so let me know what you think.

Congrats on your developing eggs!

The questionable one is a bit puzzling to me...it looks like there are active veins and a developing embryo, but that dark streak and the second dark blob are strange. 🤔 Like you surmised, maybe another embryo started and then quit (dark streak could be possible blood ring). I guess the smaller dark blob could just be a meat spot, too...but it looks an awful lot like the early stages of embryonic development from the photos. Are there any veins around it that you can see, similar to the larger embryo?

ETA: I'd err on the side of caution and leave it to see how it looks at the next candling.

Wishing you a great hatch!
