Hey do I help my chicken hatch it's day 22 and it hasn't pipped at all. I candled today and I saw the egg yolk move just a bit. On the first picture I didn't realize it was blurry until I looked at it but on the bottom is what I think is the embryo. I don't know what it was honestly, it was just a super dark shadow figure.

 
This is what I call lava lamp, unfertilised egg , there is no chicken inside. Sorry
Yea it was probably a quitter since at one point there was a little embryo it's still they're just at the bottom view of the egg.
 
But it's ok we did see some that are still developing. It was very weird to see a tiny eye and veins all around the embryo.
 
Should I candle and send pics of some of the other eggs that are in lockdown that I don't really what that I'm looking at?
 
One more question what about the air cell isn't that the clear circle at the end of the egg?
 
I cracked open the egg and it was definitely fertilized anyway let me get the pics
 
Hey I think the other 2 in lock down are also quitters anyway is it normal not to be able to see into my day 11 egg. It's very nasty looking there a veins all over the egg and whole bunch of movement.
