Is this chick dead?

Currently this egg is on day 15.There was plenty of veining a few days ago but now there is no veining nor movement.

If there is no veins that usually means it’s a quitter.

I removed a quitter on day 21 that had quit on day 8. I just wanted to make extra sure since I couldn’t tell. But when they all hatched except that one I cracked it and sure enough it had quit on day 8. Granted I did smell it and make sure it wasn’t leaking before leaving it in there til day 21.

Oh ok,thank you. 4 out of 6 eggs hatched.Due to the constant power cuts,I'm not surprised they didn't make it.

were you able to crack it open and double check when it died?

Yes.It was just goo with a fetus in the middle.

That's an interesting photo. I have one that looks just like your one. Leaving it in as hatching day tomorrow and want to make sure I'm not making a mistake. But seeing your one I'm now certain it dead, probably do an eggtopsy aswell

Sorry for late reply. I would keep that one but do the sniff test always and check for leaking. But it may be a quitter too.

Do the insides move depending on where you move the egg?

No,but i feel like the chick is slowly breaking down.There are fewer veins now and i see small chunks floating around.But im not losing hope yet as the air sack is still intact.

Im just a beginner in this but you should probably wait.The previous one ,i was certain it was dead cuz the air sack was no more,but this egg still has it's intact.Hope your egg hatches,fingers crossed.
