After lurking in the background for a while, I finally decided to join this forum and ask you guys for some help.
After setting some eggs into the incubator last week, I had noticed that one of the eggs had a little speck of something on it... not thinking much of it and not wanting to disturb the eggs in the first week I just watched from a distance. However, It came time to candle my eggs today and the speck of whatever it is had spread on the egg - its like yellow - almost dried on yolk sort of look?? I candled the egg and its not fertile but I was just wondering if anyone knew what it could be?
I've taken a few pics now I have taken it out of the bator:
I know there not great pictures
But was just wondering if anyone had any idea what it could be and if it could have affected any of the other eggs. The eggs in the bator surrounding it were all fertile with a little thing moving around so, so far they look okay.
I was thinking I may crack the egg to get a better idea - but what if its dangerous??
Thanks in advance!
