Hey, is this a blood ring?

[Tre3hugger]

Hey guys. just candled my eggs on day 5. 5/7 eggs had definite vein development, and I think are doing great. This one I'm not so sure. Is this a blood ring? Early guitter?

This is a white leghorn egg. Have another one from the same egg developing great. This one, I'm not sure. What do you think? Give it to me straight.

@jolenesdad can you tell?

No, I would not call that a blood ring.
Put it back and leave it alone for a few days before you check it again.

Thanks @Kiki. I put it back, don't plan on candling again until day 7 or 8.

It does look like a really early quitter to me but as Kiki mentioned at this early stage I usually put a question mark on the egg and check back on it in a few days to see if there is further development.

My gut would say yes especially if you have another same egg to compare it to, and a white egg.... but I would absolutely leave it until day 7.

Thanks guys. I took copious notes on my eggs last night, marking this one with a question mark. We will see in a couple days.
