problem in the incubator

[The_crazy_chicken_girl]

hello, i have just added hatching eggs today and i have just gone too turn them and just one off them that's close to the edge has got little dots of sticky stuff on, does any one know what this could possibly be? maybe to do with humidity?

If it is not water that has condensated on the egg then it must be that the egg has gone bad or something like that. If any of my eggs do this I usually take them out right away so that they do not infect other eggs. I think the runny inside of the egg is coming out when this happens.

X2 I would try and candle it.

Are you sure it wasn't like that before?

 

[The_crazy_chicken_girl]

no, they were all totally fine i got them delivered witch may of done something maybe? it took about three days in the post maybe only two

If it is only the first day then it isn't very likely that what I said is what happened. If egg has actually been in for 24 hours then it is maybe possible.

generally only eggs that have been ruptured will leak like this and you can easily tell if it has or not by candling it.
As you candle it, locate the air cell, this will be a clear blob on the top of the egg, then rotate the egg and observe the air cell, if it rotates around the egg then the membrane most likely ruptured and the egg is leaking out of the pores in the shell leaving lots of dots of sticky stuff that dries quickly to leave small yellowish spots on the shell. There is no hope for an egg like this, it will just go off if left in the incubator and could spread bacteria
