Hatch day - Spotted Egg?

[ibellaholliday]

Hi
It's hatch day and I have a mix of eggs in the incubator, but noticed one of my maran eggs has these shiny spots on it, is this a bad egg oozing? Can't remember if there's more than before but to me it looks like dried egg on the outside.. There's quail eggs that have pipped, if I have to remove is it okay if done quickly?

That does look weird. I would grab it out real quick.
Try not to tap it on anything or it will go off like a stink bomb if it's rotten.

Thank you for your quick response! I grabbed it out of the incubator and quickly decided to put it in my tiny Brinsea incubator by itself in case it wasn't a bad egg, will keep you updated!

Usually oozing from the pores is a good sign the egg is bad.

Nothing came of the egg
