HELP! yellow crystals day 6 of incubation BCM eggs! Are they goners? Cracked one open to see...

[connieconnie]

Hi,

I'm on day 6 of a incubation of 6 Black copper marans (BCM), 6 Cream legbars (CL) and 12 buff orphintons (BO).
Everything seems alright with all eggs (either growth or potential growth), but 3 of my beautiful BCM eggs have these small yellow/clear crystals on the outside of the shell. I'm guessing that this is essentially fluid leaking out the shell, suggesting a bad egg. However these eggs are really beautiful, and if there is any chance of saving them I will do it! (even if I have to wake up every 2 hours to check on them!). They don't smell at all, and while it is really hard to see inside the eggs when candling (even with 2 super strong led lights), I think there might be some vein growth in a couple of them.

Please let me know if there is any chance and what I can do
If not, tell me also, so I can take them out the incubator and save the rest of the hatch

Is there something special you need to do for black copper maran eggs? Is this normal? What mistake might I have made?

Thank you so much for your help!

They didn't have this at all when they were first put in the incubator? Not sure what it could be, but I am curious to see what the others have to say.

Nope, they were completely clean. I'm wondering if it could be something to due with the porosity of the egg? Logic is also telling me that if fluid can leak out, stuff can get in ... but really really hoping they haven't gone bad

If it helps, I can crack one open to see what might be happening inside? Then we might be able to save the other 2?

So I crack one open to see inside.
No veins or growth (apart from a tiny blood clot, which is probably the start of the fetus?), no smell, so I don't think it was infected. The yolk was broken inside the egg (I didn't do it when opening, was very careful). So perhaps these eggs where shaken or scrambled in the post when they were shipped to me?

Do you think the other two are savable?

Please help

What happened with the rest of the eggs in this hatch?
