Movement in egg on Day 3??

[CastleCoop]

So, I was candling the eggs that I have in my DIY incubator and I swore I saw something move in an egg, yet is is only day three. It was just a tiny movement, but I am fairly certain I saw it. Is it even possible for an embryo to move on day 3?

There will be development on that day. Not sure if there would be movement.. unless the temp is a little high you may get movement because of a little faster development due to the higher temperature

How small is the egg? It could be a meat spot in the egg. Tomorrow you could see veining and depending on how light shelled the egg is, you could see a little embryo and a heartbeat.

The egg is pretty much normal sized and light brown. I

The temp is about 38°C

There is still development in an egg on day three, it could be very well possible that you did see movement but I have never seen movement as early as 3 days.

Is there a way that you could candle the egg and take a picture to share with us?

I agree that it might be a meat spot or it could have been a vein or it could even be the yolk moving.

A picture would help us to see what you are seeing...

I see no spidering or anything yet so it was probably something else you saw. I would wait till day five or seven to determine if they are fertile.

You'll see something like this

Alright, thanks!

This is a day 3 candling of a standard size light brown egg. If you saw something moving around in there it may have been the yolk or chalazae shifting from the motion of your hand. Good luck on your hatch!
