So, this is my first time with incubation. I am excited and a little apprehensive. So - here's the situation. I had eggs shipped to me, and have been following a combo of different guides, but mostly the one by pete55 (THANKS FOR THE AWESOME INFO!). Out of the 4 eggs that I started with, two are happy healthy egg babies that are growing and swimming in their little egg world. One didn't have any development at all (which is surprising because it had the best air sac of the lot, but thinking it maybe wasn't fertile, or could have gotten damaged in shipment). But, the last one - it's making me kind of wonder what's going on with it....
The egg in question has what looks to be one large vein, an "embryo" for lack of a better word, and a funky shaped air cell. The pictures below were taken a couple of days ago on day 14. I have been misting & cooling since day 10, and the humidity ranges from 35-45%. I have been keeping track of weight loss and everything is on schedule. I just haven't seen anything like this. I have looked at lots of candling pictures, but I haven't seen anything like this. Is this egg still viable? Did it die possibly? I really don't know what to do.... if it's not alive anymore, I need to chuck it to make room for other eggs, but I don't want to kill a baby!
Thank you in advance!!
