according to this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=4639633

how high or low in the water can also determine viability.

Thanks for the link! I am hatching dark-shelled eggs and have used their weight loss as an indication of growth.

It's nice to have a test to use with overdue eggs (although I'm

they hatch on time).

that your's will hatch soon!

well i just did mine and all 3 floated with just a little bit at the top, didn't sink and didn't float really high so it looked to me like they're right where they belong, and then one of them was definitely moving in there! it was still and then the egg started moving, lol. I think ill just leave them alone and see what happens. I had numbered them before with who had looked the farthest along when i candled them at day 18, and so far #1 and #2 have hatched, so maybe these guys are just late...
