PLEASE HELP ASAP

This egg was the only one, it was a wild egg I took in cause the mom abandon it. I know it was alive at one point because it was moving around inside the egg a bunch during candling around 15 days ago. Would it hurt to poke a hole away from the chick itself to see if its actually dead. I would do this outside so it doesn't stink up the whole house

It won't do the egg any good if it is still alive.
Can you candle it again in a dark dark room and get a few pictures of it?

If it stinks then it probably is not good.

I would be very careful that it doesn't explode on you.

OH NO! okay:< Would it hurt the chick if it was alive and I poked a hole away from the chick itself to really make sure it's dead. I've read so many horror stories about people Cracking open eggs that are still living.

Good job Kiki! Keep up the good advice!

no need to poke any holes in eggs.
eggs have been hatching for a long time without any interference ..
If the egg has an odor like a boiled egg it is OK.
if it is bad, there is no doubt .

when I was hatching several hundred eggs at a time, and I could smell a bad egg. I just took the trays and passed them under my nose. It is easy to pick one bad egg out from 4 dozen in a tray..

bad eggs do not always explode..

I used a normal flashlight on one of the photos and my iphone

Perfect.

This is what it looks as of right now.

I am going to have to say this egg is no where near close to hatching.

When you look in this air cell are you seeing any veins or any movement at all.
And sturdy duck like movement or and swishy water like movement?
