Default Is this egg ok?

Hi Please can you tell me if this egg will be ok? Is the embryo going to develop in the circle and the red line on the right is a vein? Or is the red line the embryo and the circle an air bubble? I have not seen a red ring of life on this one. The circle is definitely in the egg and is not chalking. Thank you.

Thank you, I'm glad it's going to be a good 'un Out of interest, what is the circle bit? If you have 2 rings of life does that mean you have twins?

It's not a ring of life It's most likely an air pocket between the shell and the white membrane.

Thank you, it's good to know what it is! I'll stop checking them all for a while now, I'm sure they are fed up with me and my torch
