I wish I could admit to all the stupid things I have done today, but I don't think I should. So, I will tell you the funniest (IMO). I opened the incubator to remove the first two chicks. I saw an egg that was stuck large end down, leaning on a sponge. I gently went to move it flat when my finger went through the shell. I almost cried! My breathing stopped, and I held my breath as I placed the chicks in the brooder. I kept praying to hear the egg cheeping!

It was an empty shell!

Blue Orp and Rhode Island White. The blue orp was just being total d-bag and attacking all the free range hens trying to get in the coop for the night. He made the mistake of attacking me went I went to the door. The RIW was on borrowed time anyway. He was being super hard on the hens. So while I was in the business, they both got whacked.

Anyone think this is the cause of the blood rings in my 2 eggs? I didn't really turn them while they were in storage..... Propped up the end, but only switched it occasionally. Whoops. :/

Seeping yolk. The yolk membrane has torn, letting yolk mix with the white.
Cause: stuck yolk broke away from the shell membrane.
