You could take egg out and place in a plastic baggy and chip a little away where you think it might be a pip and see if there is life or not before you discard. But I would be very careful as an exploding egg can be very disgusting and smell can linger longer than you can imagine.

Oh thank yall so much for the advice! That was utterly the most disgusting thing I’ve ever done! And gross!!! There was no chick that I saw at all? It was viable or atleast I thought so 3 days ago when I candled! Most of been way off on that! I used a glove thank God because I barely tapped it against the sink and it burst! Thanks again for the baggie idea. I don’t really feel sad because I didn’t even see a chick at all. Welp that’s that! Yall saved me from a bator explosion! Kudos

Bacteria growing in egg can look black and fill an egg so can see where you thought it might be full of chick when you candled.

Nobody ever needs that, glad to help and good luck with those that have already hatched and those that haven't yet.

Long long ago and far far away, I tried to hatch an egg on my stove top using the heat from the overhead fan light. I had no idea what I was doing. It did not go well and I like to never got the smell out of that kitchen. Definitely a learning experience in how NOT to hatch an egg!
