Help! Is this normal for a hatching egg?!?!?

[AGraybeal]

I bough 20 lavender orp hatching eggs and had them shipped here. They were in transit only two days and I had them shipped WITHOUT a heat pack because it was warmer this week. So the eggs look like they didn't have the easiest ride so I let them set a day and to see if the air sacs had come into position at all (because they were shipped on their sides) I candled them. Well I had 1 out of the bunch with what look like a day 4 or day 5 embryo in it BUT it had no blood ring???? I've hatched only once before but I had quitter, yolkers, and winners so I know what it all looks like, I just don't know what to think of it. A meat spot maybe? Should I keep it in? Take it out and open it up? I'm confused :/

What about veining?

No, no veining either it's really wierd. When they quit all the veins usually are hard to see BUT there's always a blood ring. There was no blood ring either. I could take a picture. But out of 22 eggs that's the only one that had that.

A couple of my early quitters in my last hatch never produced a blood ring. They were just black blobs floating in there.

The size just doesn't make sense unless she had the eggs sitting out in warmer temps you know? that stinks. I hope none of my others have started and then quit and are just too early to tell. That's kind of upsetting

It definitely sounds like that one had some warm temps for a while to start developing that much. Maybe a broody had it hidden?? It's weird that it would be just the one egg.

Yep, we checked all of the others hopefully that's the only one.
