Is this the start of a blood ring?

I’m on day 11-12 of incubating eggs. It’s my first time so I’m trying my hardest to make sure I’m doing everything correctly. I have one egg I’m concerned about. It has been very active whenever I candled it but this morning I took a peak and noticed something that kinda looks like the start of a blood ring. I’m not sure if it is or not so I figured I’d post it here. It’s only on one side. The chick isnt near as active as it was a few days ago but it is moving around. What do y’all think? I can see the blood vessels although my camera didn’t pick them up

I am no expert, but it does look like one. Wait until some experts come on and see what they say. But I would just leave the egg alone and treat it as if nothings wrong with it for now

I put it back in the incubator and made sure the temp and humidity was okay. Hopefully he/she will be alright. I sure hope so. I’m so bummed out

Thank you! I’m so happy I found a community that loves chickens like I do!

Do you have any other eggs? What breed are they?

Yes I have 24 eggs. I’m not sure of the breed. They were given to me by my husbands friend’s grandmother. Hubby’s friend wasn’t sure what kind they were. I have three blue eggs and a couple of brown speckled ones, as well as some light beige colors.

Give it 2 more days and if it still looks like that, toss it.

By day 11 you should definitely see veining which I see none here.

Ok thank you! It’s still moving around, so I’m trying to remain hopeful.
