    Late stage - Dead in shell

    Does the yolk being outside of the abdomen indicate the age of death? I read two schools of thought, one being that the yolk goes into the abdomen on day 19 and the other being the yolk doesn't go into the abdomen until just before hatch or even as late as after they pip.

    Orpington, roo or pullet?
