Help! Alive or Dead?

[Nicolaj89]

I'm pretty sure this embryo is dead but I just need to be sure before I throw it.

It was kept warm etc for a few days and I noticed the embryo and some veining started and was looking good, 1 night it got cool though, this was before I managed to get hold of an incubator, the next day I got the incubator and had it in there for a few days now, but it appears the veining has completely gone, the dark blob is getting bigger but there's also no blood ring, so I'm confused, I think it has died but couldn't consciously throw it away just incase without getting a second opinion first. Can someone please help me to confirm that I has died. I cant help but wonder what if...

Im no expert in candling eggs, but I do know the dark spot should grow from day to day. If the dark spot isn’t growing the embryo is dead for sure.

That's helpful to know. The dark blob is definitely growing bigger. Just no veins which is the part that concerns me

You have probably found out by now but if an embryo doesn’t have veins then it is probably dead. Even when the embryo is dead, the dark spot will become darker and bigger. Hope this helps in any future incubations
