Something strange on the egg

[Cristen8098]

Hello. I am hatching some chicken eggs in my classroom. Today is day 6 of incubation. I noticed today that one of the eggs has someting strange on the shell. It looks like spores or something. There are three patches of it on the egg. Each patch is made up of a bunch of little spheres. I've never seen this happen before. Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Should I remove the egg from the incubator? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I don't know. I never tried getting eggs to hatch. But good luck with the eggs. I hope they hatch!

Are they white? They could just be calcium deposits and they aren't anything to worry about, at least I haven't.

If you can get pictures of it do so. I have no clue. Does it look like something fungal like? Do you know how to candle eggs to see if its still alive?

Is the egg seeping? What color is it?

The spots are white. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it. Thanks for the help!

Maybe it's just calcium deposits on the egg. Usually if they're seeping it's an amber color.
