Second hatch ever! Watch with me

[Montanomom3]

It does look normal -- for incubating eggs laying down. As they develop, the growth naturally rises to the side that is upward. Actually, if you candled while they were being turned, you can actually watch it float from the bottom side, back to the top side.

This was half way thru hand turning.

It only progressively got more of an actual blood ring unfortunately and then it stopped moving altogether

Did you pull it and open it or leave it in?

Yes, that does look like a blood ring now. I'm sorry it quit. I was just making the point that development on one side is normal for the first week or so.

I left it for a couple more days and ended up opening it. I could def tell from the size of the embryo that it had passed when i thought
