Hatching eggs dead?

[Alexacfreeman]

It’s day 23 hatching eggs were put under Broody Hen on day Day 18. Mom never got off of nest for longer than ten minutes about 5 times a day. (I have a camera it’s motion detection) now this is what they look like. Are they dead? My 16-year-old daughter does not see movement but she is not the best judgement since she is inexperienced with hatching eggs. Do any of these look like they are still alive? I will not be home for a couple of days so I’m figuring out how to best advise her. Also I know they were alive when I put them under the Broody Hen because I checked what could’ve caused them to die?

Two of them look they died at the 12 day mark. The last looks it died further on, like day 17.

But they do look dead?

Yes, they look dead.

just browsing over this thread it seems like they might have died on day 12 and 17 yet it was only mentioned that they were put under a hen on day 18 by which time it sounds like they were dead already so what happened before day 18 we have no info about to determine what might have happened.

I had a similar situation except mine were under a broody hen for 22 days and then she left the eggs to tend to the hatched chicks...I put this one in an incubator but its day 24 and thinking its died...there is no movement.

They were all checked before being put under hen. They were all moving around and alive for sure. So I’m not sure.
