Long brooding

[Tigurary]

Hello

I have a bantam Americana that's been sitting since the end of December Her egg shows the growth it should when I candled it (air sac and dark spot) but I don't see any veins/etc. Also she's still sitting on it and it's not begun to hatch yet.

How would I know if I should keep waiting or if somethings wrong with it

I would say it's dead... Only one egg????

She's been broody since about Dec 29. All the other eggs she steals aren't fertile. The rir won't allow the roo near her. Only the one Americana egg is fertile that she's sitting on

than take all others sosue can focus on the one, she maybe neglecting it if there are lots of other eggs.... But it does sound dead.
