Silkie Chickens (White)

Hello again ^_^ Thank you for reading this.

I have 6 eggs which have been incubated for 6 days. All have eyes and veins showing, except one. I am not sure if i can consider it having the "ring of death" It doesn't look like anything is alive in there, but the egg may have been stored badly, and it is half the size of the other 5.

Could anyone take a peek and throw a view at me? I tested it today and yesterday and no change... i was going to leave it for a few days and see , but if it can be confirmed as a goner.. i will remove it now and clear the space.

Thank you :]

Also, according to this website www.avianweb.com/candlingeggs.html They have been incubated at least 8 days... o.o

Sorry the picture isn't great, i had a few problems taking them.. my phone weighs a ton...

Should i give it a day or is it definitely a waste of time?

Thank you again :]

To me i'd say it's done for... but then again, i don't normally candle and now i do, i like to be 100% sure i don't destroy a life before it begins

That is day 6? It looks viable to me. Let it in.

oh thanks for that! Another has it today but didn't yesterday...so hopefully they will be fine.

How did this turn out? Did any of them develop more? My one that had looked like that ended up hatching into a beautifully healty little chick. Of my 4 eggs, that one egg had the veining ring turned out to be the healthiest chick in the lot. My other 3 eggs all hatched as well, but they each have their issues. 2 had slipped tendon, and the other is very small with minor leg & back issues. My ring of death baby was the best. I'm only saying this because if your eggs are still developing, I wanted you to know that my egg like that turned out great. I was wondering the whole time during incubation if it was going to be a problem & it wasn't.
