10 days in egg, is chickie supposed to move alot ?

[Xfranc]

I candled yesterday and I could see the nerves and the sac and the aircells, but it is still not in the entire egg .. is that normal?

I can see that half the egg is clear ...

And the Chickie is about the size of a .... Big kidney bean ? but is not really moving .. not that I can see atleast , it is stuck in one place but when I turned the egg I can see that it moves with the waves on the inside ...

I have no dark rings or anything like that but some darker spot veins on one side ina clump.

Its an EE egg and probably the last one she will ever have fertilized.

Any ideas ?

You should see some movement from the chick. If you move the egg and then it moves I would say it is gone, quit developing for some reason or another. I usually keep those ones til day 14 to just to be sure.
