Sorry Im so full of questions... but...

[Stumper]

I am on day 18 of my incubation and I noticed one of my Barred rock eggs has developed dark spots on it.. Should I remove it from the incubator? Is it a bad egg?

have you candled it to see if there is a chick in it???

 

[Stumper]

Yes.. its about 2/3 dark and I can see the vein mass.. The spots sorta look like freckles.. Would hate to lose my eggs to contamination this far along.

The dark spots do not mean it's a bad egg. If it doesn't stink, or is not weeping, then just leave it in.

Hey, welcome to BYC!

Growing chick and vein network means leave it be. If it were a bad egg, you would see a blood ring or no development at all. I think you'll be fine.
