Weird egg, candling pics. Could be normal?

[nebulathechicken]

I’m on day 14 of my hatch, and I have 6 eggs set. 5 of them are doing great, but there is one egg that appears very oddly and seems to have two air cells? Here are some pics I took of candling. Should I through the egg out? Thanks in advance.

That isn't two air cells... it's a quitter. Toss it.

Happy hatching!

Okay, thanks

Also, the first day I had some fluctuating temperatures. I was wondering if these fluctuations could cause errors in the hatch. Thanks

That’s a infertile egg just yolk

I agree with other posts. If it's been incubating 14 days that's a yolker. Crack it open and toss it.

It's just yolk now, but I'm pretty sure I see blood vessels that have retracted... which would mean it started developing and quit. Making it a quitter... which is not the same as infertile. Infertile eggs will have zero development ever.

How much fluctuation?

It could... but probably not... eggs left in nest before being incubated by a broody will experience fluctuations every time a hen sits to lay another egg, temp rises to about 102. Then it's left overnight, temp drops to whatever the overnight low is (40 here). And this goes on until a clutch is collected.

Ok, thanks for the information. I’m so close now I’ll just wait it out and see what happens!

Thanks for the advice, I cracked the egg open and it was mostly yolk maybe some slight development. This is my first time incubating so it’s really a trial run, and this information helps. Happy spring!
