Incubator Egg Problem Help!

[DogAndCat36]

My eggs have been incubated for around 2 days and I decided to candle them and instead of looking into the egg and finding fog, I could see the ball of yolk. Did I accidentally boil them?

Nope! I don't think so at least! Usually the yolk gets darker when they're fertile so don't worry about it. Tomorrow hopefully you'll see veins!

Ok!! Thank you so much, I was so worried!

These are my polish frizzle eggs I put in there yesterday. You can see the yolk starting to darken.

Thanks for the photo. But now I have a bigger question, is my egg okay? The yolk would not stay in the center, it always floated to the top...

Are you using an egg turner? On day 2 I don't think the embryo sticks yet.

Mine isn't sticking, I just waited for it to settle in place before I took a picture. I actually candled two seperate eggs because the first one wouldn't get into view. Don't fret about it too much. I've only had two hatches so far. The first one I was watching them 24/7. The last one.. well I got an egg turner and kinda totally forgot about them. Checking the humidity and temp about once or twice a day. I've had 100% hatch rates both times.

Nope, using a DIY, I it three times a day. Also the yolk is floating to the top, not sticking.

This batch has been in there for 5 days. They're sticking now. I think tomorrow is when your yolk will start to stick.

Ok, thanks again. This is the first time I even tried to incubate eggs and I am a bit nervous because when I was little, the only broody hen that we had was dragged from her nest a day or two before the egg hatched by a predator and the babies died. So we never hatched eggs until now and I am nervous. I guess I will have to wait.
