Today is day 21 and am eggcited to say almost all my eggs are pipped, zipped or hatched.
Three have done zilch - no moving shaking or tweeting so assumed they are questionable so I candled to check

Egg 1 - barred rock- checked progress and marked air sac 3x (6,12,18)

Egg 2 is a barred rock
Marks at 6, 12,18

3rd is a black copper maran. Pics were not possible but looks like egg 1.

They look gone to me.
I kinda thought that with 1 and 3. When I was about to toss - daughter asked “are you sure sure or pretty sure” 🙃 so had to come to experts before actually tossing.

Egg 2 is super questionable- is that an internal pip but then passed? Not sure if I should let sit longer or open a safety hole or if that is it getting ready to spew crap everywhere 🤷‍♀️

I do not see an internal Pip.

My second set of photos (egg 2) is the one confusing me. The dark area extends into what was the air sac previously. Wasn’t sure what that was or how that would happen since the other two darkened areas appeared to have receded away from the air sac.

They all look like quitters, if you do a eggtopsy could you get photos?
 
Absolutely- I’m really curious to know about the one extended into the air sac. Hoping me delaying and thinking about it too long doesn’t cause it to explode.

Should I put a hole in the end just in case it is building gas/fluid? Not wanting a gross mess!

You might want to if you don't want to have to deep clean your entire incubator.
 
Thanks! I’ll update tomorrow with what we find. Plenty of newly hatched and still hatching to keep me occupied 😀
I’ll stick these in a ziplock
