"Veins" but no chick?!?!

Funny you should post this! I have hatched many chicks, but this last hatch was so different!

I put 7 eggs in my new incubator for a test hatch. At day 6 I saw nothing in 6 of them, not even veins. Well, I waited a couple of days and put in a few more eggs, and decided to take out the 6 clear eggs. I always feel funny about tossing eggs, so to make myself feel better I decided to candle them again. First egg clear, second egg clear, third egg . . oh my!

I see something moving in it! I still don't see clear veining! I almost tossed out a chick! The other 5 eggs were definately clear. This morning the chick that almost got thrown out hatched and is a beautiful, healthy splash BLRW. I will never consider tossing out eggs until day 10 from now on!!

Oh my, Chickee. Thanks for sharing. From the sounds of it, I may have tossed some chicks too

And I have never been able to get a single BLRW to develop - maybe something with that breed causes a different "look" in embryo development - hope I didn't get rid of any good ones.
