This is a pic of my one little egg that didnt hatch. There was an air cell at lockdown, but when i was suspicious that something was wrong I candled again and there was no air cell anymore. After doing a water test this morning i decided it was most likely gone, But i thought best to crack it open, as this was my first hatch and i wanted to be sure.
The membrane came away easily and was nice and moist, the chick is fully grown, and just perfect. I did notice it looked like blood pooled in the inner membrane, but when i opened it, it didnt look as much. although i did notice some blood and a clot near the chicks mouth. So my guess is that its pipped into a vein. But i did also notice that its head seemed well tucked under its wing, so unless it couldnt move. It didnt get through the shell at all, andi didnt think it had gone through the inner membrane but it must have enough for the air cell to go.
Here is the pics, i would love anyone elses opinions.
For all im sad this one didnt hatch, i am kinda happy that it was fully grown and it seems to have been a hatching issue rather than a growing one
