Not sure if my egg is going to hatch

A picture of the egg being candled is what we were requesting.

That is a dead egg. Rid yourself of it. It has a detached air cell. @sourland you have great knowledge on topics as these, what are your thoughts?

The chicks look perfectly fine, the egg does not look like it will not hatch, though.

I would candle and see if you see any changes then hold the egg to your ear and tap on the egg and see if you hear anything. It probably expired. It happens sometimes. Did all of the other eggs hatch?

What may have caused that

Yes

I don't know, but it could have been handled roughly. Many detached air cells occur when egg are handled roughly, as well as scrambled air cells.

I've had eggs hatch on day 25 alot.

Aircell looks fine, that's what a normal aircell looks like in a brown egg.

Can you get a better picture of the egg being candled in a darker room?

Were they shipped eggs or from your birds?
