I have 6 day old chicken egg I've been keeping warm in a homemade incubator I made myself using a plastic box, towels, a heating pad and a small container of water for humidity. I turn it over and check the temp like most poultry websites recommend.
But thing is when I candled it today, I noticed the inside of the egg has gotten darker and the faint lines inside are somewhat darker and more pronouned. Also, there appears to be some type of dark(almost black) spot in the center of the yoke. Also there's some small black lines coming out of the edge of the yoke.
I know there's a possible chance this egg is fertile but is what I'm seeing normal after having an egg for 6 days?
I know that by the 5th day you can see the embryo developing but I wanted to hear what someone who's owned or raised chickens has to say about my description.
