Thank you for replying, Michael.
Could the spilled liquid be the chick's blood? or any liquid that is inside a
living chick?
I am asking because I am sure the chick was alive, and it started to break
through the eggshell.
I was following this nest almost on a daily basis for the last few days a
If it is any consolation, based on the spilled contents of that egg, the egg
was infertile and never going to hatch. If the egg was due to hatch that day
or anytime soon, it should have been mostly filled with a developed embryo with
little to no yolk left to spill.
