Ring of death??

[Mamaerin57]

Its my first time incubating. I didn’t have any intention of incubating yet but my broody hen started laying on eggs a week ago then i got a leak in the coop right over the nesting box they were in so my hen abandoned them. I couldn’t just throw them out so i tried to put them in the incubator to try to save them. But this one egg has a ring in the inside but I 100% seen slight movement. I need advise and guidance on what to do with this egg… thank you.

Looks like veins to me which means it’s still developing

Agreed, I don't see a ring in those photos but I definitely do see veins. Sometimes if you edit a photo of a candled egg to black and white (greyscale) it can make it easier to visualize.

Good idea, here I edited the pictures and put an arrow to where I see the ring

That looks like a viable egg to me. I'd keep it in the incubator.

I think the veins are just forming a circular pattern there. Unless it's oozing or has an odor I'd leave it until much closer to lockdown. I've been fooled many times candling eggs in the first two weeks. My last hatch is had one i was pretty sure had a blood ring, but I was wrong and it hatched a nice healthy chick.
