Is this egg alive? It’s day 13

[Firsttimehens1234]

Hello, I have a broody hen that right now has two of my eggs.
It’s day 13 and they have been candled, how does this one look? It didn’t move in the video, don’t know if it’s sleeping

It looks very full for day 13, it might be older. I'd leave it for a few days

Do you think that’s bad? That it’s full,
the egg does have a very thick shell so that might be why it looks bigger, but do you think it’s alive?

Can you candle the other end? Not necessarily bad but might be farther along than 13 days.

Yes that egg is alive. If an egg has strong veins then it is still alive. If an eggs veins start to recede or disappear completely then it is dead.

Unfortunately the eggs are about an hour away from me so I can’t, the eggs were sitting in a ok hot room a couple of days before they were placed under the broody hen, they might be on day 14 if that helps. I found a picture of the other end of the egg but that’s the best picture I can get

I'd just wait a bit, it doesn't look rotting yet.

That’s good right? I just got another video where you can see a little bit of movement

It's good, I'd just keep an eye on it
