Egg yolks hard boiled after incubation 7 days at 99.5

[jessicaklessig1980]

Ordered geese eggs on eBay and incubated 7 day started to smell and took out. When I took them out the yolk looked hard boiled. Let seller know they sent new eggs put in a different different incubator same thing happened. Anyone else see or have this happen?

That's really odd. Did you candle them before you set them? I would have asked if you've calibrated your tempature in you incubator but since you used a different incubator , I'm not sure. Do you have pictures? What type of incubators are you using?

 

[jessicaklessig1980]

I have incubated at least 100 eggs I would say over the last 8 years. I did calibrate the incubator. The first incubator was a hobovator and the second Brinsea octo. The weird part is just the yolk was hard boiled not the rest of the egg. I have a picture but it’s hard to see I squished the hard boiled egg yolk on inspection in the ziplock

You said they were already oozing when you receive them. So it's really not your incubators.

I think It's the seller He's sending you bad eggs.

That’s what I think too . Just checking if anyone else had this happen and why. I have request $$$ back from the seller because I believe the have to old eggs it’s the only theory I have.

One was oozing but not the other two. It was not an obvious ooze I candled and found no crack. After letting rest for 24 hrs upright it had drips seeping out the bottom of the egg but no cracks found . It was strange. One of the eggs when I move it I heard a thud but the shells are thick and I could not see anything obvious.

I'm sorry.
