    Not viable??

    Before I toss these two eggs I want confirmation. These are day 12-14 on incubation. Am I correct in saying these are not viable. All the others are way darker with big veins.le

    Can you tell an egg won't develop by day 4?

    Preparing for this year's hatching season. This year I will be hatching eggs from my younger pullets and I fully expect most eggs to not develop considering they lay about one egg a day on average, so by the time I'll have enough to fill the incubator only about 7-14 out of 30 will have decent...

    Is this egg dead? 13 days

    This egg is 13 days old. I checked on it 2 days ago and it was moving. Now the blood ring seems stuck to the shell and I can't see the embryo anymore. Is it dead? Or is this normal for this stage of development?

    Is this a blood ring? (Quail eggs)

    Hi. This is my first time incubating eggs. I am using a cheap chinese incubator, and thus the temps are not very uniform and I expect the mortality rate to be quite high. I am wondering, is this a blood ring? Should I discard this egg?
