I had thee eggs under my tiny bantam. One was gone without a trace, and then I was handling the last two for whatever reason and as I turned the egg over I feel something flop on the inside. I turn it and I hear it flop again and so I assume it is dead and bury it because I don't want it to turn rotten and explode on my chicken. Today the last and remaining egg felt that way too and then later it didn't. Was the egg I buried dead or alive?? I left the last one. I uncovered the buried egg and turned it over and it felt like a fully formed chick inside. I hope it was dead if it wasn't I will never forgive myself. So my problem is, is the last egg as the one I buried dead or alive?
Dead or alive?

Did you candle the eggs?
Leave it until it's supposed to hatch. Sounds like the chick was just moving around inside...

Yes
You did what you thought was right. And it might still have been right. Like I said leave the other egg until it's supposed to hatch and if it isn't hatched but the following day it's probably dead.

I still feel horrible. If only I had left that one it might have lived
The last egg, you said you candled it? Did the chick inside move or peep at all?

It had a weird thick shell. I could never get it to work, but I could with the others. No moving or peeping at all.
It may be dead then but I'd still leave it just in case
