Incubating chicken eggs.
It is day 22. Most of the chicks hatched yesterday. But I haven’t seen any action from this guy, yet.
Notice the weird dark patch in the air cell. Also the dark, detached looking spots inside.
Has this embryo died?

Thank you. That’s what I thought.

Since I am now addicted to hatching, I will be doing lots of this in the future. What was the give away?
