Are you talking about seeing the bright empty air space in the pointy end, or just a little extra wiggle room?

The air sac is in fat end but can see alot of extra space in the pointy end also..
Unsure....
All looked good a few days ago...I'm so wanting to cracked into the egg and see what is going on but if it may still be good of course don't want to kill it either. ..

Candle again and look for movement. If it is moving do not crack it or you will kill it. I can usually see movement the entire way thru the 27-28 days. Sometimes they can be a couple of days ahead or behind schedule, little differences in temp. can cause this. It may just take a extra day or two to fill up that space. If I were you I would just keep checking it with the candler or flashlight.

If they are due to hatch on Monday, day 28, you can usually see movement at this time, but not a lot. The chick is much smaller at about 10 days and it has lots or room in that egg, so you will see it moving all over the place. Later as it grows and things start to get a little cramped in that shell, the movements aren't as obvious, because they just don't have enough room. I sometimes struggle to find movement on day 25,26, 27. Soon you should see the air sac move from the fat end to a more slanted position. If you see this, things are progressing as they should, do not turn your eggs anymore, they need to stay in the same position now, so if you pull them out to candle, make sure they go back in, in the same position. Keep us posted, an internal pip should happen soon.

Hate it but the little guy did not make it...
I could feel the egg had seemed cooler. Saw no movement. Cracked open and saw the chick but his stomach/yolk stuff had not been absorbed into his little body.
Have another due on the 26th and at this point it looks promising. Lots of movement and the egg is full with the air sac slanting. Keep your fingers crossed for us! ♡

So sorry.

Hope your next one hatches for you!
