@Clucklandia and @Chickenlover0714
For future reference, you both need to learn to leave the eggs alone until AT LEAST day 23. Lock them down on Day 18, and DO NOT touch them until after they have hatched, or for several days after

Ok, enough criticism! What's done is done.

So today you are seeing no movement under the membrane?

Well I was positive the egg was dead and I was getting rid of all the duds and quitters. I usually open up the dead eggs to see why they died. When I opened that one, I only opened the air sac area. That's when it moved. It was doing fine when I put it back in the Incubator. It kept moving and changing. Then something seemed strange and we think it's upside down! Now it's not moving.

oh no i'm so sorry

I usually wait until day 24-25 before throwing away eggs. Some chicks will hatch a couple days early, and some can hatch a couple days late.
I wouldn't crack them open either, there is small chance that they would live.

Have you read any of the previous posts? Like the ones that said to leave the eggs for AT LEAST two to three days after hatch date in case they were delayed? Of course it's your choice. Either wait a few days to be sure, or throw them out and risk killing your eggs if they're still alive. Up to you.
