Seeking Advice/ Help with Candling

Thanks for the pic. There is no point of brightness or discernable air sac in this egg, no matter what side/ surface applied to the light.

What color is the egg? And are you candling in a dark room (night is best)? I'm thinking the shade of the egg must be making it to hard to see into.

The egg is a pale beige with a couple speckles. The room was dark ( I even went as far as to make sure I was candling at night so less natural light). And the candle was bright enough to shine through an unfertilized egg.

If you hold the egg right under your nose, does it smell in any way bad? If so, dig a hole, put it in, cover it up, and step on it. Don't look to see what was in it.

If it doesn't smell sulphurous or repulsive, give it a day or two. Tapping on the big end should result in a peep or scratch in the 24 hours before hatch.

Did the egg ever hatch?

 

[oopsididitahen]

Not yet. I'm giving it til Wednesday. If it doesn't hatch by then it's probably time to let it go. Thank you for asking; I'm very touched by your kindness.

No, but that's ok. The odds were against it. Thank you for asking!
