Then It’s probably dead. Try opening it maybe?
Edit:just read the post. It’s okay to post pics

Haha, wasn’t sure if people would be grossed out so didn’t take any. Would have been a nice looking chick though

I know that feeling My halloween hatch was terrible! 2/16! Most of them were fully grown. One was internally pipped but did not hatch

Well I thought 5 from your original dozen is likely a good clutch to hatch from shipped eggs. Congratulations!!

From stories I have read here many people might get 1 chick!

Sorry about the one chick! It happens sometimes, even though it’s sad for us. But think about it, you have five other babies! That is exciting!

Just found this thread from last year, I made a separate one in the new year. We had a predator disaster, cats! Being new and oblivious to chicken keeping I thought allowing the chicks to have some ‘free range time’ in the garden would be clever, but being inexperienced I only focused on making sure no chicks could escape, but didn’t think about predators getting in. Went inside for 10 minutes and 4 of my 5 silkies had been taken I guess it was a learning curve for me but such a shame.
The one survivor is still going strong, and laid her first egg the other day.
