Day 18 Bantam Cochin Egg

[Duckbreeder2020]

I have eggs under a broody hen and one egg is on day 18, I meant to pick up and egg on day 15 but I accidentally picked up this one
The egg feels a LOT lighter then all the other eggs
I’m new to hatching eggs so does this mean the egg is getting ready to hatch?
It’s a bantam Cochin egg so I’ve heard they tend to hatch around day 18-19

What exactly are you asking for?
Are you trying to figure out if the egg is sti alive or dead?

Yeah, because I don’t get why one day it weighs the same as the other eggs and the nest it weighs nothing

did you put it on a scale? even if it died, the weight won’t change that much.

No I didn’t, I didn’t want to mess with it that much
