And there is such a huge overlap in days this year it's hard to keep up,

Anyone have any ideas on this egg?

It's on day 13. It's been way behind the others the whole time. It is still moving but not like the others...

It doesn't look promising - not much in the way of veining. But at that stage, unless it's weeping or smelly, I'd leave it.

I haven't thought it was promising the whole time but have left it and every few days it gets kind of bigger. It has faint veins, but they are there. I and leaving it until I know it's bad.

Yep...plus this is why I'm playing Egg Tetris. I filled 2 whole bators for Easter & a 3rd for CDM. I usually have a dedicated hatcher but not with 2 whole bators in lockdown at the same time.

As long as I see movement I leave them in. I've had a few I swore weren't going to make it just hatch a couple days late. Must have been in a cool spot most of the time or something.

Can I still join, I have eggs due to hatch on the 3rd of may and the 11th and a few after that. I have 3 Malay eggs, 7 Sumatra/silky eggs those are due on the 3rd. I have 10 guinea eggs due on the 11th and some more after that. Then I set some of my own SS eggs and some wbt jap bantam/silky cross eggs.

No I don't. They are not mine, the eggs are but, the parent birds belong to a friend of mine. We are trying to get the breed going here in PA more. I have one egg that I am not sure if it is Malay or the Sumatra cross.

My Easter hatch is almost over. I had horrible results. Started with 80 some eggs have 6 out and three pips. I sure hope this hatch goes better. I really want more SS.
