I have a problem I believe!!!

I just put my eggs in last Friday, things are looking good for the most part but I have one eggs all dark inside!!! Do u think this egg will explode?

I've moved it away from the rest as best as I can but I'm afraid! I've been candling see lots of veins. This is the first time from shipped eggs that I am happily surprised. Got them from Dick Horstman he sent them all suggle in foam, thick foam.

So any thoughts on the dark one. I cannot see into the egg at all... You don't think there's a chick in there already to come out?!!
Thanks for your help

hi melinda, is it a pretty big egg.. you said you see lots of veining. hows the aircell is it small or pretty big..not sure i would keep it in there.. i would say if its a big egg maybe its a double yollker, but 5 days shouldnt be that dark.. maybe someone else with more experience can shime it.. i would take it out if it were me..

Hi, I actually had this issues YEARS ago when we were on the farm. Our laying hen stole an egg from our broody hen, and it got put in the incubator to hatch. It was out in 10 days lol. Not sure if that's what is going on in your case, but I remember being shocked as a teen when I had one lonely chick pop out WAY before the rest. Thankfully we got him put under the broody same day as his siblings hatched

The flower is a tree peony. I had it sigh! about 8 yrs ago. I was a tad younger then

Nothing is happening in the bator. I checked and there is movement in the eggs. Just no pips or zips yet. My bator tends to run just a tad cooler than it registers sometimes. It maybe a day late. SIGH! I hate waiting.( if there was a picture of a kid stamping its foot I would use it ) Good luck everyone. I will just check the glass to look into my bator about 1000 times today

. I know me.( I WILL LEAVE THE LID DOWN ) My matra for today. Then during the night when I give up they will sneak into this world without prying eyes.

Little brats!

It's a Banty egg! So, I don't know. I was thinking maybe I should get rid of it . I put it in the far corner but if its explodes it will def. effect the other eggs.

I do not see any veining in this egg... It's all dark inside the whole thing. And it's only a light tan egg.. That's why I'm so worried.
