Clot-looking veins in fertile egg on day 7

[Cheekychook11]

Hi this is my first time incubating chicken eggs, just candled the eggs on day 7 and one had weird clumped veins or clots but otherwise looked like it was developing, is it alive?
this is my first time posting, it there a way to upload an image from my camera roll?

That doesn't exactly look right to me. They usually have veins all around, and a little blob. Yours has a larger blob that might be the blood ring (meaning it died) and I see no veins but that could just be the photo or the way I'm seeing it. This is a YouTube video showing what it should look like.

What I do is mark ones I'm suspicious about with an X in pencil, then the next time I candle which usually isn't until lockdown, I'll know to check those ones closest. Actually, if I'd put one like that back in, I'd check it in a week and not wait until lockdown. I only wait until lockdown if everything on Day 7 was fine and I pulled out any unfertilized or non-starters already.

Oh, and welcome to BYC! I wish you a great hatch on the rest!

Thank you

They’re all numbered, that’s what I suspected, but I’ll leave it for another week to be sure, photo there isn’t the best but we’ll see I guess

This looks like a quitter.
I highly recommend not trusting the readings on your incubator and instead getting some of these:

Knowing, for sure, what the temp is at all times in your bator will greatly improve the outcome of the eggs.

Incubators are known to have hot spots and this egg may have been sitting in one.

I do have one already that reads both temp and humidity and that egg was right next to it, and the temp and humidity are good

That egg was a quitter, just candled them all again today, only 3 I’m sure are good out of twelve , what did I do wrong here? The eggs were shipped, nurture right 360

As I’m thinking likely none will hatch now, what can I do differently when I order some more eggs to hopefully get a better hatch rate?

Does it have an app where you can see the changes through the day or week?

Are you sure there are no temp spikes?

 

[Cheekychook11]

Definitely no temp spikes, the humidity dropped low during the 3rd day, but I was told that wasn’t really an issue, temp was at lowest for long periods 98 degrees, but everything was pretty consistent
