Possible blood ring

[Dippy-eggs]

Hi everyone, I am new to this thread but wondering if anyone could help,

I am incubating my first 6 eggs, today is day7 and I have candled them, some eggs were clearer than others, they all were fertile as veins have started but I couldn’t see an embryo, on the whole the eggs were very dark and I couldn’t see much (not like photos I have seen online) and mine are blue eggs so I was expecting for them to be clearer

One of the eggs does have a ring right above the air sac and I am wondering if it’s a blood ring
Can I have options on what people think

many thanks

To me that looks like the blood island. I've only had blood rings that go around the circumference of the egg not a circle on one side but I may be wrong.
These pics should help you:

Best to wait and candle again day 12 or 14. By then you will know for sure.

Ive thrown out perfectly good developing chicks thinking it was a blood ring early on.

Do you have at least one, separately purchased thermometer, that you can calibrate in your bator?

I don’t, but it’s a new Brinsea incubator
What are your thoughts?

I would get a thermometer and calibrate it and I would get a humidity gauge and salt test it before you set more eggs.

Do you have any thoughts on the above egg?

I don't think it's a blood ring.

But I don't think it looks too good for being a week old either.

Do you have a brighter flashlight?
