If you are at day 11 or even close you can trash it.

If there is no veins visible I don't think the embryo would be alive anymore. Veins are always the number one thing I look for when candling. And day 11 you would surely see them visible all over

but if you're not 100% sure, leave it another day or two and check again.. who knows.

Nice......so how many went into lock down?
Any more pips yet?

I put 2 dozen am in and 1 dozen mix of polish and am. I had 5 am not even start to develop. Last time I looked I had about 6 or 7 eggs with a little chip out of them. This one is pushing them all over the place though is that going to be a problem?

Is it normal for the humidity to rise so much when they hatch? It's gone up about 11%

That's fine...nerve racking tho.
Some folks never open bator until all eggs have hatched, which is best for humidity levels.
But if hatch takes 2 or more days, they can get pretty rowdy and start pecking at hatching chicks.
I'll take some dry rowdy ones out in groups of at least 2....move fast tho, the humidity loss can really be an issue.

Yep, lots of moisture from hatched chick.....good for the others pipping so membranes don't dry out.
You want humidity to be high during hatching....60-80% is good.
