Egg question

[hopingforbabies]

I have an egg that was laid a few days ago,and it looks like it is seeping blood.The outside looked red? What is this from??

I am assuming this is infertile.

I think that is what happens when the embryo drowns, but I am not sure. We had an egg that did the very same thing, and we were thinking that it was because it got turned. It could have also just been infertile from the get-go, because the egg this happened to had just been laid (not sure how long it was in the cage), so we really have no clue what caused it..

There was a thread with some pretty good pics of this happening to someone else awhile back (in March I think). I am sorry to tell you that the egg did fail, despite of the many efforts of the caretaker. I will try to find the thread for you..

Definitely keep the egg, though, you never know what could happen..

I threw it out.It was squishy and covered in red slime.I have two eggs that have been doing good.They are a few weeks old and when you candle them thet glow red,so I am crossing my fingers.I have never hatched anything before!Thanks

Sorry to hear about that, but at least your other two eggs are doing well! Best of luck to you and your eggs
