I have an egg that was moved over at 22 days (pheasant egg) for hatching. It is at day 25 right now and the small end of the egg is weeping kind of like little beads of perspiration coming out of it. The weeping is not clear, it has a little of a yellow tint. Any suggestions as to what this might be, I have two thermometers and one hygrometer, they are both at 101 degrees and 75% for the humidity (still air Hatcher) Thanks for the help

Oh and I did candle it last night and there was a good air sack and the rest of the egg was totally dark. So it looked good, (ok I think). I have only had 3 out of 14 eggs make it so far.

Any eggs that I have had that have wept like that were goners? But maybe someone else has had a different experience. Also, not sure what the seeping is called?
 
Thanks, I was hoping that would not be the answer, but I don’t want an egg to explode. Did that once and I think the only thing that was equal to was being sprayed in the face by a skunk. Thanks

Ok so I did a eggopersy, and the chick was fully formed, with feathers but when we looked at him, his bowel was distended and the odor was rival to that of the skunk. He was not breathing but looked like he almost made it. If anyone has any idea as to why this happened I would appreciate the advice.
