What day of hatching am I on?

[Stormlillyevans]

Hi, my silkie is coming up to a year of age and recently she started sitting on 1 egg . I can’t remember the exact day she started sitting in her egg. I was just wondering if you guys could tell what day it is by looking at the eggs development.
Thank you

Congrats! Hope it goes well. How strong is your candler? If it's strong, it could be around day 7, but if it's weak, it could be up to 14.

I find the aforementioned article very useful. It lists all the days up to 18.

The air sac isn't too large so I think it's less that 2 weeks anyway. But this isn't my field of expertise.

Wait so the bigger the air bubble, the older it is?
