Hey, guys. Have a question....this is my first hatching attempt, and I have a question. Today is Day 18. I tried candling my 16 Ameraucana eggs, but I'm not experienced with candling. For the most part, I couldn't make out a darn thing! The shells are just too dark or something--nothing but opaque, dark area for the entire portion of the egg below the air sac.
However, I did notice in one the air sac was mis-shapen. It dipped way down on one side. When trying to get a better look, as I tilted the egg I noticed that the air sac (void area) moved further down the egg as I gently titled it. Is this normal? I have no idea.
Could this be dead chick?
Please advise!!
UPDATE: changed title in hopes of a response
