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

[Chicken poppy]

It’s just annoying how people think I’m that dumb to not see the crack that’s obviously there

They dont think your dumb, probably just trying to inform you what they see. i hope the hatching goes well, im not to sure about it though, i wouldnt want to give wrong advice. To me, it looks dead and bad, however i cant say that with certainty.

Oh my gosh why do you even care so much about a crack? I was asking about the blood ring and so far everybody has been focused on crack instead of the blood ring. If I wanted to start a conversation on cracks in eggs I’m incubating, I would’ve posted about that instead. It’s my eggs and I’m sorry if it offends you that I put an egg in the incubator with a tiny fricken crack.

I'm not offended about YOUR egg! It is your egg and you do what you want with it! I can leave this thread if you want!

No one is offended just trying to help

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

That's good to know! My incubator heat source took a dive with over 3 dozen eggs inside, most were in maybe a week and every one had the ring. Hopefully some continue to develop.

I came home to a 55-f degree incubator, unsure how long it had been. 2 of 12 developed beilefelders I bought did end up hatching a few days later, I think I changed the bulb just in time for them.

I'm sorry if it offends YOU that we are all telling you about the crack in the egg! I've had a duck who had trouble walking and he also had unhealthy feathers! So everyone was telling me my ducks feathers were unhealthy with was good because I didn't tell them in my post!

I think its also a bit useful, the OP might not know that information therefor people will tell what they point out and what they see

To jump in here... I have not hatched eggs before but one day I might. Can someone please tell me more about blood rings? I thought a blood ring was a sure indicator of a dead chick but some of you are saying it's not. What casues a blood ring? And has anyone ever had a successful hatch following a blood ring? Thanks.

@N F C

May want to end this discussion?

Could the crack have caused the blood ring?

It's the blood veins decaying and pulling away from the embryo. They don't tend to be visible I my experience after the first 2 weeks.
