Day 24 Silkie Egg

[Mmanist]

If a broody is on it, she will probably abandon it if it doesn't hatch. You can always leave it (long as it doesn't stink) till then then open and it up and see whats inside. I would personally give up, since it's day 24 and hasn't hatch and no movement is present

She's relentless, that's why I let her sit she's still nesting. I think I'll move the egg into my incubator for another couple of days and move my hen and chick to the brooder area. Fingers crossed that it's just late... it was a silkie egg that I had in the fridge and figured I'd see what happens, wasn't ideal... I've read that eggs that get cold during shipment can hatch late maybe that has something to do with it... I guess I'll see
