Is the Egg fertilized?

I like how you kept candling til' Day 16 even though it hasn't shown any progression, hahaha.

I incubated eggs last year and didn't see any thing, no veins, no embryo, on day 7... or day ten... but at day 14 the egg had gotten much darker. by day 18 I could not see through the egg! They did not hatch, but when I eggtopsied there were fully formed chicks in them. So, I would go the distance with these eggs. There still may be a chance!

Thank you for telling me this! I was getting really doubtful but I really want to have hope- I’m glad there’s at least a little chance! (Also what does eggtopsied mean?) Thanks so much!

Eggtopsied means that when your eggs don't hatch, you crack them open and see what was going on in the egg. You only do this after about 4 days past hatch day because sometimes chicks can just be a little late to hatch.
I'm wishing you luck with your hatch!

I don’t think so, you would see an air sac at the big end of the egg.

Hello! Completely new roster and new eggs! These are four eggs layed by my chickens in the past 2 weeks. Just wanna know if you see any signs

Crack it open so we can tell if it is fertilized, by the yolk. Then you can start putting some in the incubator..

Good idea! Okay
