Ring of death at day 1-3?

[MeowMinx]

I’ve had a locally obtained quail egg develop a short red streak in it’s albumen close to air cell on day 3 of incubation and it stopped developing. Wrote it off as a once off incident.

Now I have shipped chicken eggs in the incubator with several showing similar red streaks to nearly full circles near air cell as well, 24 hours into incubation. Are these “normal” live eggs or are they goners?

Can you post a few photos of what you are seeing?

Apologies for the poor photo. Can you guys see the red streak circled in blue? This egg is approximately 36 hours into incubation.

No problem, its very hard to hold the egg, camera and torch (flashlight)

No that is not the ring of death.

Glad to know! Why would they have these red streaks though? Don’t veins develop around the yolk before spidering out?

They can develop any where.

I have some daily photos of development here:

Phew! Hope I get a few chicks out of this lot. They were costly
