Peculiar Egg While Candling

[GrassClump]

EDIT: WRONG NOT DAY 18 ACTUALLY 19

Did my last candling and everything looked okay except this one egg...

Ever since day 12 This egg has concerned me because it's air cell never slanted like the rest of the eggs and it wasn't as dark, however it still had visible veins so I let it be. Cut to today I decided to use my phone's extraordinary camera feature to try and capture what exactly was going on in this egg and once again I'm left confused.

Can anyone please explain what I'm looking at here and what (if anything) I should do with this egg?

as stated it's currently day 18, lockdown begins tomorrow (EDIT: INCORRECT INFORMATION LOCKDOWN IS TODAY).

I do not see anything wrong with this egg. The air pocket is not drawn down and the chick is still developing and not near pipping stage yet. This egg may be late to hatch compared to your others.

well at least I now know what's up with it... but what can I do? I'd like this egg to have a chance to hatch but I have to turn the turner off and raise the humidity tomorrow

Is your incubator calibrated? It might have some cool spots so it might be a few days behind.

I currently have 2 thermometers/hygrometers in there. one is a govee digital one and the other is a zoo med analog made to go into a hermit crab cage lol.

I used the zoo med on a previous hatch in a different incubator and that hatch ended in a 100% hatch rate so I've been inclined to trust it. I really only have the govee in there because it sends data to my phone and I can see how much the temperature and humidity fluctuates.

Based on the stats provided by the govee it's true the temp hasn't exactly been stable and has been pretty much just been ping-ponging between 99-101 so I wouldn't find it hard to believe there's a cold spot

however wouldn't the cold spot effect any of the other eggs? this egg is positioned between two other ones and they're fine.

I don't know, it doesn't quit look 18 days yet but it looks alive and healthy.

It looks fine to me. I think the big yellow spot is the unabsorbed yolk sack.

When candling from the other side, it should be dark as light would not be able to penetrate much through the body of the bird. If this egg was for some reason cornered for a few days, then it would have been a bit colder and take 1-2 more days to hatch.

It does still have a chance to hatch! No guarantees but best of luck
