hi. I had an egg due yesterday, it hasn’t pipped at all yet! I tried the water test, it moved, that was 6 hrs ago. Just candles it and I could see a small amount of movement, air sack looks largish and healthy. However, as per all the advice, I’ve never candled before after day 18, so not sure what I should be seeing. There are still healthy looking veins, and the chick does not fill the whole egg right down to the air sack. There’s good heat......any ideas?
 
Forced, but sadly that chick died in its shell. It never managed to break through to the air sack for some reason. My incubator is set at 37.7 degrees centigrade
 
Sorry to hear that. The chick may have been malpositioned. One of the many things that can go wrong during hatching.
