I have a bummer of a question to ask on a Saturday night. I candled day 14 and I had one egg of 16 that looks very different. It's a white bantam polish egg and there is no veining in it. It is also the only one where I can see no movement. All I can say is that I look at it and it seems different. If I shine the light on the blunt end, I see no veins and just a big dark mass near the top. BUT, if I turn it over and candle the other end the contents seem to float to the other end. This one has to be a loss, right? Quarters are so close in my little Brinsea that I really feel like I should remove it this close to hatching. I'm sorry to be so nervous, but I'm just worried silly over my first hatch. Lockdown is Monday and I've got all these others with crazy air cells and everything seems bleak.

White egg (easy to see into) with no veins and a single mass (which could be the yolk in an infertile egg, or an early quitter) sounds bad. I'd usually advise to leave it in if you're not sure (unless it's leaking or smelling), but in this case, it doesn't sound good and it seems like you need the room. No one gets 100% - good luck on the rest!!!
