Do you see movement? Usually when they look like that they are dead or didn't develop all the way.

Was this egg shipped? How many days of incubation?

these were eggs from my backyard, I dont know specifically how many days, I remember candiling this one and I thought it would be one of the firsts to hatch and we started all of them april 28th. Before we put them in the incubator they were under my hen icy but she ended up breaking one of them so I put all in an incubator and a few of the eggs I couldnt tell apart so I just incubated all of them. which was 4 more than we started with, This egg is most likely one of them. when we put them in the incubator they were 15 days along or something like that but im not sure about the extras, atleast old enough to hatch by now

When they are this far along there will rarely be movement to see as it is getting very tight for them.

If none of the remaining eggs smells, I would just put them back, increase the humidity to 60-65% and wait. No more candling.
