In the Brooder

So we hatched 6 Easter Egger eggs. Well 6 have already hatched and one is left. Today is day 21 and there are no cracks in it and I haven't heard it peep. Is there away to tell if it's dead? Should I leave it in the incubator for a few more days? What should I do?

I think most people give it another 24-48 hours before doing an eggtopsy and cleaning out the brooder. I'd remove the other chicks though, if you haven't already.
 
Ok thanks, all of my chicks are in the brooder and running space (don't worry it's also heated so they don't freeze) and the one egg is in the incubator still. But thanks! I'll keep watch for the egg!

Well I think it will be fine I candle it on day 18 and saw a big air bubble and couldn't see anything else because it was a dark egg or it is alive and a late hatcher. I hope it hatched in a day or too! If not I'll try to keep you posted!
 
Hello! I candle it in the dark so I could see threw the dark egg and I could see its wing and its body! I think it is just a late hatcher. No cracks or a peep yet but my fingers are crossed!

I hate to say it but the chick didn't make it. The incubator gave out and it was at 67 degrees For a hour we were gone so no one could check on it. But all other 6 are doing fine and kicking it!
