Dark Egg During Candling

[jenjen182]

I candled my 3 RIR eggs today (Day 8) and saw one that was basically completely dark except for the air sac/pocket on the large end of the egg. In the darkness, there is a moving black spot towards the large end of the egg.

Is this the chick?

Thanks!

I know. Im kinda bummed cause the five eggs left were perfect . Actually my silkie eggs was moving but never pipped . Im happy we have our one chick.

It's all worth it for one chick. There just so adorable.

My other 2 eggs are looking doubtful though. One has a blood ring and the other looks undeveloped
