Candling egg newbie

Best to leave it in until you know for sure - it will become quite obvious when compared to the others if it has stopped developing. As long as you can see veins then it's still alive. When the embryo dies it looks like a black lump and it loses the red glow and looks very yellow in the rest of the egg.

I believe i see a blood ring. @MGG @CHlCKEN

I know nothing about incubating and hatching eggs. Just not my thing. Sorry.

If that was day 10, my guess would be that they won't hatch. How are those 2 compared to the others? Of course if other chickens are still able to get to the nest, then you may have eggs at several different start dates and you can't really compare to the others.

It is past the hatch date now, did any hatch?

Oddly enough, they all almost fully developed! 3 hatched. 1 did not and seemed to have been dead for a few days. I don’t know if it was this egg or the other.
