So I opened a port hole in an egg to start an egg topsy as the whole egg was black with no visible air sack. What I found was the little guy is still moving about in there but there is liquid inside the egg and I'm beginning to wonder if it is a twin egg on top of it as there is barely any room in the egg. As in the whole embryo sack is filling almost all of the egg.

Anyone have any ideas what I should do?
 
What day of incubation is this? Chicks do grow and fill the shell usually at day 18-19 and start to pip day 20-21. Seems it's later than that as you started an eggtopsy so that indicates your temp was a bit low causing slight retarding of development. I'd let it and others stay in incubator a few more days.
 
It stopped moving so did a full egg topsy and what had happend is the chick was mal positioned and pipped through it yolk sack and the membrane filling the egg with the yolk sack.
