No, the airsac will be the same size if the chick is dead or alive. Once the chick put its beak into the airsac you have about 24-28 hours until hatch.

okay well from yesterday and this morning the air sac looks different, it looks bigger and deeper. Hopefully i just have some late hatchers. and since his beak was not in the air sac this morning than maybe he will put it in tonight or this afternoon. Thank you so much and sorry i turned this thread from a happy place to me worrying about my eggs

i have 1 sicilian buttercup egg and 2 red sex-link eggs and 1 buff orpington and 1-2 GLW and some i don't know what laid them. oh and the cockerels are blue laced red wyandottes. it will be an interesting mix

 

[HollyBird24]

I hatched mixed breeds all the time, very interesting to see what comes of the mix

 

[littlecreekfarm]

yes i am excited to see what they look like if they hatch!

You might also want to invest in a better incubator, like a Brinsea. They are better for beginners since you don't have to know everything about incubation to use one.

well my bday is next month so maybe i can put that on my list. I failed once at a turkey hatch b/c the power flickered and my bator never came back on
