Not sure if my egg is going to hatch

[cmom]

I have had some chicks hatch late. One cause could be, especially a still air incubator, is that they have hot and cool spots so moving the eggs around is a good idea. Not knowing what your setup is, it's hard to say. Some just give up.

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?

I just threw it away

Were they shipped eggs or from your birds?

Mine

Did you see any growth whenever you candled the egg? Such as veins and an embryo?

Before lockdown? If you candled the egg five days before lockdown and it was going to hatch or even viable, it would have had veins and an embryo.
