Day 18

[BarredRocks3]

Hello BYC, I'm incubating an egg and it is now the end of the 18th day. When I candled my egg I noticed that there was something in the air cell moving around. Both of the parents are large fowl so the egg should hatch at day 21? Could this be an internal pip? The possible head was moving, I have no idea what's going on and I'm slightly concerned! I have a picture too,

The dark mass inside the air cell is what I'm looking at,
thank you for your time

I'd just put it back in the incubator and let it be. It will hatch, or it won't. The 21 day guideline is just that - a guideline. Sometimes they come a little earlier, sometimes a little later.
