Normally after day 23, might be tough to know if it’s still alive. To be sure give it another day, but not uncommon that it’s going to hatch.

It can take up to 25 days, maybe that egg was in a cooler spot in the incubator and will take a little longer. Maybe it just wasn’t strong enough. I would give it a little more time.

Even it being a bantam breed?

Yeah, everything I’ve read doesn’t discriminate against breed. I would give it the chance. Nothing to lose waiting another day or two, except maybe your sanity.
Good Luck

If there is no movement when candled its likely dead.
