Hi all - new here (UK based). I'm not new to keeping chickens but this is my first incubated batch. Initially put 6 eggs in - 5 have developed really well - one showed no development at all so removed it. Locked down yesterday and all 5 remaining showed movement/good air sacs etc. during last candle. However, one egg seemed to look a bit 'grubby' -almost as if it had been touched with greasy fingers - was showing good movement though so put it back in. Don't know whether I've done the right thing
that particular egg now seems to be very still whilst the other 4 are rocking - no pipping from any yet and we're just a couple of hours of going into day 20. Don't want to open the bator but really concerned that this egg may be a risk to the others - would I be better removing now before pipping starts? Or maybe candling it one last time to check for signs of life?
