Lock down today but with problems!!

[bobby d]

Well lock down is today. However I candled one last time, which I will add I haven't candled much at all. Anyways I candled and found that most of the eggs did not develope. It looks like there's a dark splosh in the middle with a red ring around the egg.

Can anyone tell me what causes this? I'm at a total loss cause our first hatch went so well.

I am new at this also, but if they have any signs of life in that egg, I stick them in the bator and some have hatched that I thought were dead

IWere they shipped eggs? Or, from your own hens

They were shipped eggs. However they were eggs from 2 different people and their all doing the samething. Kinda sucks cause I feel like I might have done something but I just don't know what it could have been. I did everything the same except we used and egg turner this time. I'm wondering if that might have something to do with it. But then again I thought that was the best thing people use them all the time. Who knows we see come Friday!!

Yes the eggs look just like some other those. Now I'm wondering if I didn't clean the bator good enough. UGH!!!
