What should I do ?

[Silkiecozycoop]

I had a pretty bad hatch however there is one egg that is still very visibly pulsing inside it’s been 25+ days but no pipping and floats during float test, so from my understanding would technically mean it’s dead ? However the pulsing is very obvious in an record it in a video and it is very noticeable

Any suggestions welcome

Hi, and welcome to BYC!

Float tests aren't 100% accurate, so most don't use those to determine egg viability.

Can you candle it to see if it's alive? I've had a couple hatch three days late, but that's out of several hundred I've hatch, so very uncommon.

I would get a hygrometer/thermometer to check your incubator settings as they are usually not correct. I have three big incubators and none are right. Govee makes good ones if you need to purchase one.

It should be able to pip on it's own if it's alive in there. Here's a helpful article about how to assist if it comes to that: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/guide-to-assisted-hatching-for-all-poultry.72886/
