I have a Silkie egg that is about 29 days old (dated 6/28). I kept candling it after 21 days and couldn't see any movement or change in the egg at all. It didn't look the same as any of her previous eggs which another hen sat on. Those 3 hatched at day 21.
Today I decided to crack it and see what happened. When I did a tiny drop of blood came up and I could see movement. I put it to the incubator but I think I did too much damage to the shell.
What should I do?
I would have thought 29 days was way past it being viable. How long should I wait in the future?
