Yeah. I currently have some eggs in the incubator from the other pullet (the one I put a picture of it earlier sitting on a table), and two of them has blood vessels.

One of them has a heart inside I could see before, and now it got darker and it seems like more stuff are forming, and it's good with movement I can see.

The other one is quite weird. So I want to mention first that this egg was layed onto the table and it hit it and had a small crack in it, but that was only in the outer shell and not in the inner shell, meaning only the calcium one, so I sealed it using wax because I found that online and thought I wouldn't lose anything giving it a try, and so I put it in the incubator and now it has veins that are all up and not going that much down, atleast yesterday they were because I didn't candle yet today. I also can't find the heart or something like that, but the veins seems to be moving slightly every second as if a heart is beating through it so I guess it's alive.

The rest seem to not change at all. Today is day 8 for one of these two eggs and day 9 for the other.

I guess if these hatch, I can also bring some different types from the shop and put them with them so they live together, and grow up together, they could replace that chicken.

If the blood vessels look healthy then what is probably happening in the baby has moved deeper into the egg, I find that around day 7-10 the baby moves so you can't see them then a few days later they come back, so I wouldn't worry if the blood vessels look healthy
As for the veins not going down the side of the egg it is more of a wait each egg is different maybe it's a slow developer

I hope they hatch

Ok thank you very much for explaining. That makes sense now. I hope they hatch well.

Hello,
I have one of my chickens who is around 5 years old and it stopped laying, except it rarely does lay an egg. This hen always used to come to other hens who are broody and force them to leave then sits instead of them for a few days then also leaves when it was younger. Anyways, now it's its first time getting broody without another hen actually sitting before it. It sat on a collection of eggs, and it stayed on it for 2 days straight. I also brought one of my eggs from my other chicken which I am sure is fertilized and I gave it.

I have a rooster which is probably around 10 years old probably a bit less, and it stopped fertilizing eggs. Just now, I saw that rooster sitting next to that hen. I thought it was just sitting there casually and wanted to scare him off so that the place remains for the hen alone. But I was surprised it didn't run away when I came to it or even touched it. What's weird is that I used two fingers to lift the leg slightly and I saw that he's sitting on atleast 2 eggs, while the hen next to him is sitting on atleast 4. I don't understand what on earth is happening, because a rooster isn't supposed to sit on eggs!

Could be with his age he’s got a bit of a hormone problem going on but what the heck, whatever works!😂
