ok, so I received some eggs in the mail. I let them settle for a day, then put them in the incubator. They’ve been in 24hrs now. I inspected the eggs when they arrived, no crack, no visible damage.
Anyone know what this could be? It’s not on any of the eggs that didn’t come in the mail. Do I need to toss these few?

Are you saying it grew on the eggs in the two days you've had them?

A quick look at them looks like calcium deposits and little dirty. Not seeing anything alarming unless you are saying it grew overnight.
 
I've had a couple of rough calcium deposits on the outside of eggs like that. Assuming it is hard and not changing/growing, I wouldn't worry about it.
 
It looks like egg white that’s being pushed out of the pores.. but they’ve only been in the incubator for 24hrs, could they possibly explode that quick? Could that just be from pressure or something? Lol.. I’m grasping at straws!!
 
They look like the egg white is weeping through the shell to me. I wonder if they got frozen and the warmth of the incubator is now expanding them and causing them to ooze. Did you leave them to stand at room temperature for a day before you put them in the incubator? Are you at particularly high or low altitude and did the eggs come from the opposite of you.... these are things that I would imagine might result in them weeping. I'm not sure what effect it will have on incubation but it can likely only be detrimental in my opinion. I would contact the seller and discuss it with them.

It was a free swap, no $. They came from Nebraska & I’m in S.Florida.. so I guess the cold may have played a part in them weeping.? Thank you.
