Thank @UThobbyfarmer ! So I did the water test.Also the egg in the photo looks viable to me. It has clear veins visible. When chicks quit the egg get murky looking. No more clear veins.
Thank you for the advice. maybe should I seperate the incubator with a little carboard partition ? My fear is in keeping them in the incubator with the one I’m sure has life if it explodes and sprays the one that has hatched it would die? Sorry I didn’t seal the bags I should have said that the bags are open but facing the opening in towards the incubator wall so if there is splatters it will not go on the good one. But maybe the cardboard is good enough to splatter proof ?I had three dark brown eggs that I could not tell if they were alive or not the whole incubation period because they were so dark making it hard to see movement while the two lighter eggs hatched right on time. I left them in for an extra two days and they all hatched. I now have five little maniacs running around the brooder right now. Even with hatching ducks prior I have never used no movement as a sign at this stage. I would also be worried about putting them in bags. Eggshells are porous and chicks need oxygen both during the incubation period to grow and at hatch
