Strange marks on eggs under a broody

[CrystalAnon]

I have a gal (Xena) that went broody on May 4th. I ended up putting eggs under her May 6th (because there was a broken egg in the nest I needed to clean out & make sure we didn’t have any more ants in there.) I candled for the first time yesterday. (9 eggs) Two were clearly unfertilized. Two others I have concerns about. There is a strange mark on both eggs at the air bubble area, from one particular hen’s eggs. Both eggs are VERY easy to candle. I can see all the way through them. When even eggs of a similar color, I can hardly see anything, because of the egg shell thickness.
Both eggs have a few very thick blood veins. But that mark on the eggs are concerning me. I don’t want these eggs to explode in her nest before my second candling. Posting the pics I took of them 5 mins ago.
What do you think?

You put the eggs under her on May 6?

To be exact, I put eggs under her around 9:30pm on May 5th. I consider May 6th to be the first day she sat on them all day.

I saved eggs for this exact purpose, in case one of our hens went broody. Switched them out for new eggs all along the way & marked them all. So they were at about 70 degrees when I put them under her at around 9:30pm on May 5th.

Those eggs are way overdue and probably starting to rot. I'd guess the spot is bacteria starting to show through the pores.

I assume they got up to temp by the beginning of May 6th.

What do you mean by “overdue”. They were fresh eggs less than a week of laying when I put them under her. And they have veins. Curious what you mean. Thank you for your reply!!!

Chicken eggs take 21 days to hatch and today would be day 39, nearly 20 days late since they were supposed to hatch. Sometimes chicks will hatch a few days late, but 18 days past due is way too long for anything to still be viable. Could you please post pictures of the eggs while being candled? I think the veins you may be seeing are old or the embryo is starting to deteriorate.

No worries, the year is flying by fast! Could still be some sort of bacteria growth or it could be the chick or yolk pressing up against the shell. I'd just keep an eye on it and watch out for any foul smells.
