Day 14 shipped egg question

[coffeeaddict]

Incubating and hatching these upright. Humidity 30-40% 99.5 degrees. Does this one look on track to you guys? The baby is not moving a ton. Very slow movements unlike in the earlier stages, which looked more like a jumping bean. Since this is my first time incubating, wondered if anyone could confirm that this one is looking good so far. I've had bad luck with these shipped eggs. Out of 12 eggs, 2 were early quitters and 6 never started development. Thanks in advance!

Looks more like day 9ish but alive. Is your incubator calibrated?

Yes it is. It's been very consistent holding steady 99.5 temps. Is my air cell way too small for day 14?

I'm looking at the veins and embryo growth. Can you get a picture of the other side?

Tried to get a pic from each side here. It did move around a lot more with these pics. Maybe it just was asleep earlier.

The veins look healthy but after reading through this: https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...ion-through-incubation-of-chicken-eggs.47879/ I'm thinking it's only a day or two behind. It will likely be fine.

Thank you. I have some local eggs and they seem to fill much more of the space. I think these shipped eggs just had a rough time all around. Hope they make it.
