wow it must have absorbed some of the whites or albumin as imsomarinky said
This just threw me off because none of my other ones that hatched had this much or wasnt as noticeable!
this chick in concern has piped a lil further!

No, no, not the air sac. the egg white. I have duck eggs that still have another week to go and still look further along than the chick.

Ahhh,.. a lot of growth happens in the last week.. also some evaporation happens...
Is this your first time candling eggs?
If they have a week left ( in my opinion ) they egg pic you posted looks about right.

Chuck12, my duck eggs have a week to go, but the chicken egg (the one in the picture) is on day 19. Doesn't it look too small? Maybe it will make some progress overnite. I have candled and hatched duck eggs before but never chicken eggs.

afishel, I'm glad your little peeper is still moving along. I hope you can post pics once its out.
