Horsfield egg UPDATE
Martha laid an egg approximately a week and a half ago. I've candled it tonight and there looks to be a little pink blob settled on top of the yolk. But there isn't much in the way of chalking as it has only started to chalk over in the last few days. Does it sound like the egg is fertile or is it too early to tell yet? The eggs been incubated at 31 degrees celsius with a humidity of 60-70%.

Is there a ring around the blob Helen? It's very possible that it's fertile.

Well the egg does look very different now in just a few days. When i candle now the egg seems to be half full of pinky red stuff. I can't really see any blood vessels so what could this be? The egg is now 2 weeks old.
