i have set some eggs today and the temps great the humidity is great but one of the eggs seems to be weeping? what does it mean ive seperated it as far as i can from the other eggs just incase

Does it smell when you hold it close to your nose? This site says you should probably toss it! http://shilala.homestead.com/candling.html "The egg on the left shows a blood spot incubated to 8 days. You can see the bacterial ring forming at this point. Soon this egg will start to "weep", and if it isn't caught in time, it will explode into a stinky mess."

It doesn't sound like condensation if none of the other eggs have it.

Were all of the eggs at room temp before you set them ?

 

[Fairybee]

yes and i let them settle for 24 hours before setting them like i was told

That one egg may be more porous than the others, or may have some other flaw. Have you tried drying it and seeing if it happens again ? I would keep a very close eye on it.

should i remove it?

I would definitely remove it. Typically it means there's a hairline fracture in it...if it's left in there, that fracture could allow bacteria in, which "rots" the innards...if that happens, it can explode all over the rest of your eggs and contaminate them. It may be something else, but more times than not, this is the cause. I sure wouldn't take a chance.

If it's weeping, then it's no good. Probably has a small crack in it. You need to toss it.

One of the ones in the incubator started weeping, it was from a badly acked shipment, it weeped right out the pores, best to toss them because they are not going to hatch but could explode and hurt your other eggs.
