Honestly, i don't see any blood vessels, looks like it has quit, but you can leave it for a while to be certain. Day 11 you should see a nice spider-web of veins. Do you see anything on the other side of the egg?

I still agree too. The lack of veining is not a good sign.

Well 2 of the 3 Crele/isabelle orpingtons have hatched with no help. 3rd one is externally pipped. Pretty good for such bad shipping. These really are the last for this year lol. I'm cleaning my incubators and putting them up so not to be tempted lol.

I did, everything was great and when candled the chick was rock n rollin but when candled last night, i saw this. I have removed the egg and got more last night so starting over. Thank you for your help.

Need some help here. This is my first time incubating and I'm freaking out a bit.

This is end of Day 21 (a few hours left). We set 7 Ameraucana eggs in a Brinsea Mini Advance. 1 was clear, 1 quit about day 7, the other 5 looked great up through Day 18.

Humidity Day 18-19 was only about 50% for some reason (despite filling both sides of reservoir.) When I realized this on Day 20 we got it up where it needed to be.

First egg pipped almost 24 hours ago, 2 chicks hatched in the night and have now been moved to the brooder.

The other 3...nothing. When should I worry/candle/etc.? No one has pipped so I could probably safely candle at this stage if needed, right?

Yes you can candle. With no pips it is perfectly safe. Even with pips, as long as you keep your humidity up and aren't exposing them to long periods of dry air, the chance of compromising them are slim. I candle all the way through hatch cause I have a control problem and need to know what is going on and when they internally pip.

lol But seriously, yes, it's ok to see what's going on.

I did one and the air cell looks like it dips really low on one side. Like soft of similar to pics of saddle air cells but way bigger (my eggs weren't shipped and the air cells were normal prior to lockdown). What does that mean??

Couldn't see an internal pip, but I did it super quick because I was freaked out about taking it out, lol.
