UNHATCHED EGGS

[wskline]

I had eggs that were way over due of hatched date. I candled and could see black but no movement. Last night, I pulled them from
incubator and cracked egg open. There was a baby but It wasn't moving so I'm assuming I did right in pulling. My question, would it be motionless or would there be some kind of movement if baby was still alive? This may be stupid question but trying ease my mind that this baby was already gone.

not just peace of mind but to know if I'm getting hang of what I'm seeing when candling. Thanks

If it was still alive, there would have been movement.

If it was not moving it was already dead.
