Just candled...growth stuck to one side of the egg...

[bearfeet3]

I just candled and it looks like the veining and embryo is staying at only on one side of the egg. My incubator turns every hour so I don't know what went wrong. What is this?

I dont know but sending good vibes for your babies.

 

[bearfeet3]

ANYONE? Is there anything I can do? would a warm damp washcloth on that side loosen it up?

 

[Catalina]

That's normal

 

[bearfeet3]

Really? It seems to be developing ok, But no matter which way I turn it, it sticks to one side.

 

[Catalina]

What day are you on?

A large portion of the egg will be the air sac and then you'll have the baby.

 

[bearfeet3]

It's on day 9 but It's a goose egg, so it takes 30 days... The air cell is still smallish.

 

[Catalina]

Oh, sorry I don't know anything about goose eggs

 

[bearfeet3]

With candling it shouldnt be much different from chicken eggs other than it being less developed at 9 days than a chicken egg would be. Heres a pretty horrible ilustration I did showing what it looks like when I candle from the pointy end. The brown blob is the embryo.

Thanks for the illustration ~ I'm going to candle mine tomorrow on day 8. This gives an idea of what I should be looking for.
