Double check an egg?

[PetraStonegirl]

I am inexperienced at incubating and candling eggs. I believe I have a quitter, but would like second opinions from more experienced eyes before I remove it. On day 7 there was visible blood vessels and a clear, moving embryo. On day 10 it was candled again and I took the first image, the blood vessels had mostly disappeared, but the embryo was bigger. Tonight on day 13, I took the second image. To me, it appears that the embryo is breaking up and that there might be a blood ring (third image). Am I right to pull this egg?

Can you see movement? At this point it would be pretty active.

To me (not very experienced) it looks underdeveloped for day 13. As already asked, did you see any movement?

No movement any more. Last movement seen on day 7, when it was really quiet active. Now neither bright light from candling, nor rotating egg produces movement.

It look dead then, in the last photo I see a hint of a blood ring.

I agree this looks like a quitter. The blood vessels are receding and your description of no movement but it sort of swirls around the egg when you rotate it is definitely a quitter.

 

[MGG]

I agree, looks like he quit just recently.
You're safe to pull it.

If there's no movement, that chick should have died. I experienced that too.

any blood vessels? As long as theres blood vessels it should be alive. They will break down very quickly once the embryo passes.

Thanks all for the double check, I just didn’t want to chuck one that might have otherwise made it, due to my own inexperience.
