What do you think of this candled egg? is it ok? **PIC ADDED**

[davekrista]

I took a pic of one of the eggs that i am concerned about. Out of 10 so far this is the only concerning one. When i turn the egg, i notice the black spots are actually on the egg shell (inside) and not on the "yolk" part... Sorry, was having computer issues........ here are the pics

Where is the picture?

Generally, black means not viable.

I've had several like that and they have not developed.

should i get rid of it or wait and see what happens?

How long has the egg been in the incubator? If it has been more then 7 days then toss it.

Late tonight is day 7​

You should see blood vessels starting day 4, but I give it up to day 7. At that point I toss it, because it is not developing. I would recommend that you do the same.

Looks like it could be infertile, or just did not develop. I always like to wait until I'm half way through the incubation period to candle....other wise I'm not 100% sure and it makes me worry.....I'm a worry wart.....LOL

I'd wait till day 10 even though it looks like it may not even be fertile to begin with. Because I don't know the temp of the incubator or the validity of the thermometer used for the incubator. I hatched ducks in low temp incubators before (79-85 Degrees F) and on day 7 they still didn't have much going on. But by day 10 you can make out the veins. I would put it in the farthest corner away from all the other eggs if you decide to wait, just in case it gets bacteria.
I always wait 10 days, by then it's a sure diagnosis. But that's just me.

As has been mentioned, the egg is not fertile and is not growing. Seven days? Toss it.

Good job with the picture, btw!
