I think I know what I’m looking at here, but I would like confirmation or otherwise from more experienced eyes. This egg is dead, yes? Did it get too hot? I have never candled white eggs before this. I candled last night, day 11, and saw a peculiar pattern. I rotate my eggs by row and also by egg within the row. In two rows, four or five eggs in the center look like this. I have never seen such a dark mass when candling before unless it was a nearly hatched chick taking up all the space. I know the incubator spiked, I walked in to find it happening. I have to keep the temp high to compensate for a flawed thermometer, but it probably got up to 102, though only near the heat element and not throughout the incubator. The pattern of eggs with this dark mass makes it look like those two rows, which are beside one another, were directly under the heat during the spike. The eggs on the ends of the rows stayed cool enough, as did all the other rows, but it killed these eggs. What do you think? These ones are gone and I should remove them, yes?
