so I have a question: in a couple of my turkey eggs and about half of the chicken eggs I set the same day (saturday the 6th, so today is day 10) I see what really looks like blood rings, but I also still see veins. My assumption is that they have bacterial infections and are dead but haven't been dead long enough for the veins to break down yet. Is this a reasonable assumption or could the "blood ring" be part of the vascular system? This is my first time incubating with a turner so I'm not used to candling eggs that haven't been laying on their sides. When they are upright the aircell obscures a lot of the action, so to speak.
I wouldn't be surprised if they are dead, I've had some problems regulating proper temp and I'm honestly pretty surprised and excited about the couple of eggs that look to have good veins and moving embryos. I marked the questionable eggs but I'm wondering how long to leave them before I check again/pull them out. Seeing as I've had problems I don't want to mess with things more than I have to, but I also don't want exploding eggs.
