Day 12. Alive or dead?

[LegbarMama]

I started with 8 eggs and I am down to 2. This is my first time incubating. The first one has veins but they can only be seen if I candle from the top. Do yall think it is still developing?

This is the second one. It had visible veins a couple days ago but I think it may have stopped developing.

Sorry the pictures are not very clear. They are blue eggs and I only have a flashlight.

What day are they on? What kind of eggs are they?
Do you see any shawdowing or movement in the egg when candling?

 

[LegbarMama]

They are on day 12. Opal legbar eggs. And I do not see any movement unfortunately ☹

Does your incubator have automatic turners?

Keep them in for 4 more days and see if their is any change at all. If there isn't it would be safe to toss them.
I've thrown out saddled air cell eggs like that before and they were alive.

No, I am turning manually. 3 times a day. They were shipped eggs so I am incubating them with the pointy side down.

 

[LegbarMama]

I will definitely give them some more time. Thank you for the advice!

It sounds like you are doing it right then. I wouldn't give up on them yet. I agree with @BirdsBeesTrees . Even if there is no movement, they might just be resting.

How did your hatch go?
