I am pretty confused with what's going on with this egg. It looks nothing like any other egg I've candled at 14 days. The black blob is tiny. If you turn the egg it almost looks clear on one side, but on the other is a blob. I hadn't made up my mind yet, but I decided to just sit and watch it for a while. If I didn't see movement I would pull it... IT MOVED!! THREE TIMES!! Why does it look so odd? At this point I am still not expecting anything to hatch from these eggs (they all have detached air cells and had a horrible time with USPS (down to 3/12), but I can't help but hope.
Here are some pictures of my question egg:

The pictures don't do too much justice to show how empty the one side looks. Any ideas? The last picture shows where I saw most of the movement.
 
If it moves, leave it go. At worst, it just won't hatch.
I am curious, though. If it dies and you open the egg, you should post pictures on here.
I've heard of eggs developing blobs of various sizes instead of chicks, this may be what you have, but you'll have to wait and see.
