Thanks for the well-wishes but there's been no sign of life since 2am... I'll give it til 6am and then crack it open. When I did the egg run to the coop today I happen to have a broody australorp, and I found a new wyandotte egg. I stuck it under the australorp. I figure she'll do a better job than me. So frustrating and sad that it had to die so close to hatching. Hearing it cheep made it so real!

Hey all, after 48 hours with no signs of life I cracked the egg open to see a dead little chick with an open umbilicus. The yolk was about 3/4 drawn into the abdomen and with a little pressure the whole yolk ball came out. I guess I'm glad it died before it hatched so I didn't have to have it euthanized.
