Is this embryo dead?

[silkiemother]

I’m not seeing any movement from this egg and it looks different from the others, is it dead? The others are semi clear and I can see the babies perfectly, they’re at day 18. Oh and this egg feels kinda cold despite it being 99.4 in the incubator

You've got good veining. The veins fall away pretty quickly when they are dead. Babes in eggs often hold still when moved. Nature's protection.

It simply may be a day behind the others. I'd give it a chance.

The others look like this, they all got set on the same day and that egg is definitely cold to the touch after just a minute out of the incubator

The first photo shows a dead egg. This egg looks to be alive and thriving!

You should always be able to clearly see veins on good eggs! Up until they're about to hatch, anyways. Hope your hatch goes well
