Hello everyone! My question is if eggs that were clearly fertile, but ran into complications during incubation, will still candle pink/red. My incubator, for some reason, started fluxing wildly for about 2 days with no explanation, and has since been holding good temperatures again. It only fell into the lethal zone of 78 once, and held that temperature for a few hours--but it got as high as 90 and as low as 78 before deciding to finally settle back down at 82-83. Also, while trying to fix the incubator, like the meat stick I am, I knocked he egg cup over and turned the egg upside down (for just a brief second or two). Aywho, the egg is still candling pink, but I've read that they'll stay that way all throughout incubation, even if they've died at an early stage. Do eggs that have died ever not still candle pink, or will it just be an extra tortuous wait now that there are uncertainties? Thanks again!

Cheers,
-Matt

Hate to say it but it will probably be an extra tortuous wait now that there are uncertainties. I hope it turns out well.

Lol, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the response though, we'll know early/mid July than I suppose. Thanks again for the response!

Cheers,
