Silkie Egg

Help! I'm on my second try of incubation the first one was completely unsuccessful. After checking my eggs it appears only one has developed. I'm now on day 23 and still no piping. I have put the egg in warm water to see if there is any movement and there definitely is some movement! Is there anything I should do? I really don't want this time round to be another complete failure. Should I candle the egg to see if I can see movement.

I'm sorry your first incubation didn't go to plan. If you've already water candled, I wouldn't bother candling as well, the chances are you wouldn't be able to see anything at this late stage anyway. it's just a matter of waiting now, mine only pipped on day 23 so there's still hope, hang in there.

OK thank you still trying to hold on to hope that this little one will make it out OK.
