Why does the egg I’m incubating have this weird blood circle?

[emily_snow707]

I’ve been incubating 2 phoenix eggs along with a few other eggs and this is day 6 of incubation. I candled them at day 3 and both the phoenix eggs looked fine and healthy with small veins. I candled them today and one of them looks like this. I have never seen this before. What is it, what causes it, and will the chick still hatch?


EDIT: Listen I came on here in regards of the blood ring, not the crack in the shell. I’m very aware of the crack. Phoenix’s are exotic and expensive and I only had 2 eggs so I was gonna incubate them anyways. So please just answer my questions and stop criticizing me for the fricken crack in the shell.

The egg is cracked and dead.

Yes there is a minor crack but it isn’t too bad and hasn’t broken the inside membrane.

I don't throw out blood rings, half of them are still alive. However this one is definitely dead.

There is a small crack in it but it didn’t break the inside membrane so I’m pretty sure it didn’t affect the health of the chick.

Ok thanks

The egg shell is badly compromised, I personally would not have set that egg in the first place
The blood ring you see is a sign that the developing embryo has died. You may discard the egg as soon as possible to keep from bacteria growing and affecting other eggs in the incubator ... sorry sweetie

Ok thanks

This one is dead though and it's obvious.

It could've killed the chick, because to me the chick looks dead, I would throw it out.

I’ll make sure the egg is dead before tossing it. I’m regards to the crack, it was very minor and didn’t puncture the inside membrane. Phoenixs being exotic and kinda pricy, I put it in there anyway. I don’t think that affected the health of the embryo.
