She's about 2 years old, egg was pretty typical size, possibly a tad smaller than the others she's laid. I thought from the start I had a double yolk in there....but didn't think much of it once baby was developing normally. Thank you for your replies! We have 4 new eggs we will attempt to...

Update...no movement still, decided baby was definitely dead. I did "hatch" it myself and baby was upside down in the egg and looks to have 2 yolks....?!

Thank you! I'll keep a close eye on it and add another water dish!
