Really? And you're sure it's turning correctly?  I wouldn't get too worried as long as it's growing and moving. It's a normal look in hand turned, at least both batches of mine that I turned by hand. I don't know why it would have that appearance upright in a turner, but don't count it out. Mine seriously look like that when I'm hand turning and they all made it.    Do any of the others look like that?

I'm pretty sure it's turning like it supposed to, it's in a different position everytime I look in there. I'll keep a closer eye on it though just incas. Maybe it's turning too slow or something? I got eggs from 2 different breeders and all the eggs from 1 breeder look like this. Their the 1's that were really dirty. Over half of them have quit already. They don't look as bad as they did a couple days ago though. The veins actually looked like they were thickening up when I candled them today. They are still growing and moving quite a bit so I'm hoping things will take a turn for the better and I won't loose anymore.

So, so sorry, Ravyn!  That's awful.  How did you lose Burn?

My 1 EE hen that I got from a friend (her and the Black Jersey Giant that she gave us started my chicken craze ) went missing and I thought for sure she was dead and gone, we found the remains of the Jersey hen but never found any signs of the Ee hen (Chicken Little) but about 2 weeks ago she popped up in the woods when my husband and my 2 kids were shooting the 22 rifle! We thought for sure she was dead and then 2 or 3 months later she pops up in the woods, apparently doing quite well on her own!! She wasn't to happy about 22 LR rounds flying past her but she was fine. She's still out there, we can't catch her, lol. Hopefully Burn will come back home to you though, Chicken Little was always really stand offish and afraid of people, that's why she never came home.
ETA: Sorry, I did it again, I meant to quote Ravyn

Thank you, everyone...

Sorry, too many to quote... and to top off the day, I lost Burn, our blue fawn Call drake...

This might sound a bit "out there", and you may have tried it already, but you might want to take a walk in the morning with whatever you feed out of, with just enough feed in it to rattle around and make noise when you shake it. Don't know if it'll work for ducks, but it worked for my horses, and you don't have a thing to lose but a little time.

That always works for my dogs too. Its amazing how they "don't" hear your voice calling them but they can hear a little bit of kibble in a butter bowl. They really come running when I take the whole bag of kibble out and shake it around! They don't get out without me much but when they do the food always does the trick. Apparently the pig does the trick too :/

It is my considered opinion, after decades of intensive research, that all domestic animals are born with the "selectively deaf" gene, particularly when their owner/handler is pressed for time or the animal can fly or outrun said owner/handler.

it looks like a foot. I tapped and nothing I am going to put them all on lockdown to make sure I didn't miss anything. Heres a pic of the egg. Like it has dark splotches

I haven't finished reading. I am seeing the splotches on your egg. Does it smell bad? Might be a stink bomb waiting to explode. I advise caution.

Yep. Never fails. Mine always got loose when I had somewhere I had to be and not enough time to get there. And then they think it's time to play catch me if you can.
