Hi on Saturday I found an egg on my doorstep, I am not sure how it got there but I couldn't find a nest nearby. The egg was still warm so I brought it inside.
I kept it on a heated blanket in a box throughout Saturday and on Sunday morning went out and purchased an incubator.
On Saturday I candled the egg, there were lots of veins and I could see a lot of movement.
In went in the incubator on Sunday morning and was doing well. However, early this morning when I checked on it there was no movement inside the egg at all and when I checked again later the dark 'shadow' inside was in exactly the same position so I don't think it's moved at all.
There are still lots of veins visible as well as the air sac, although a new thicker vein has appeared at the top near the sac (it isn't a ring).
Do you think the embryo has died or is this normal for it not to move at all for a while.
Would all the veins go if it had died?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
