"The Blob"

The black spot looks like the eye. I am not sure about that weird blobby thing. Lol!!! Or it could be a small double yolker. Lol!

One of the reasons some eggs fail to hatch is abnormal development. In this case, it looks like an abnormal growth of cells, almost as if a part of the embryo had set free and started to grow more cells. If you are willing to treat it as a science experiment, it looks like both sides have good blood vessel growth, so I'd say let it go on and see what happens. It may be some horrible blob, but chances are it will die off at some point and kill the embryo as well. Or it could be twins, with the same low chance of success.

That's what I thought. I have no idea what that is. It's completely seperate from the chick but before it got stuck, when he moved, it also moved. It's connected to him by a big vein I think. But yeah, the black spot is his eye and if I roll the egg his body wiggles a bit but the eye stays firm where it is.

I was wondering that too, maybe it was a double yolker? This isn't the only 1 like that. There's atleast 1 more, maybe 2, that has 2 seperate masses in the egg. And they aren't stuck and are also moving around very well with good veins.

I don't know if I could handle some horrible, pulsating blob coming out of this egg, lol. I'd have nightmares forever

Chances are that if there is abnormal development, it will never reach point of hatch and you won't have to worry about it. Only a normal chick can hatch on its own, twins rarely both make it to hatch, and one usually dies out early and because of the interconnected blood vessels, kills the other. If you get a blood ring or the blood vessels go dark, it's done.

If at lockdown you have two moving chicks, then be prepared to assist.

Remember the old movie with the pod people? Maybe pod chickens?

I may be imagining things, but to my untrained eye the 2nd picture looks to me like it could be a chick. I see what could be the beak, facing left, close to the veins

"The Blob"

That doesn't look right. It appears that the vascular system is shutting down. Maybe the "blob" is actually the clotting??? Wouldn't give it much hope.

Yeah, not something I'd want to experience either.
