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

[Alpacalypse]

Has anybody ever successfully hatched a cracked egg with a blood ring?

I've hatched cracked eggs before successfully. I lightly brushed soy wax over the cracks before I popped them into the incubator. I have personally never had a blood ringed egg turn into a viable chick. I've left them another week to check development and they always stayed the same.

"A blood ring occurs during the incubation of chicken eggs when the chick begins to develop but then dies. The blood vessels which had begun to form begin to decompose and, rather than remaining attached to the embryo, they float in the yolk and form a circle which spans the circumference of the egg."

Since phoenix’s are exotic and kinda pricey I put it in there anyways. I’m sure though that the crack wasn’t the cause of the blood ring.

How is your egg? Did it hatch?? Blood rings can be caused by bacteria getting In through a compromised shell. But it doesn't always happen. That's a rather thick blood ring so I'm pretty sure it isn't viable.

Unfortunately, neither of the eggs lived.

Hi Emily. How’s your hatch going?

Neither of my phoenixes lived unfortunately.

Doubtful, but if you are located near me, I'd be more than willing to part with some pheonix or chicks

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

Eggs have a natural coating to protect them from bacteria I think it's called the "bloom"? The blood ring is a sign bacteria made its way inside the egg. That's why it's a no brainer to toss it being cracked.

That being said my incubator is the type where the eggs lay on there side with an autoturner that is about useless because they end up just spinning in place. Most of my eggs had a ring until i started hand turning them myself and the ring's went away after a couple of days.

I'm going to try. My friend has a pair of phoenixes so I'm going to see if I can get an egg or two from them.

If you're near Tennessee, I have a great Silver Phoenix standard roo that's aggressive but an excellent boy. He's destined to be dumplings unless someone wants him to be a flock protector where there are no kids or elderly to put up with his butt. Gorgeous bird. He's accepted that I'm boss, but hates all other humans. Based on what's been hatching, he's also a good daddy.
