[alexthefarmlady]

Hello chick friends. I’m worried about my little baby chick, I’m incubating 3 silkie chickens who is 9 days today all three were moving yesterday and I wanted to look at them today as well and one of the baby’s I see the body but isn’t moving, there’s still vens. No death ring. Any thoughts

Maybe it is resting.
Leave it be and check back in a few day.
Good luck.

Yes, baby could be resting. Also may be slightly behind on development, which happens. Leave it alone don’t candle it for at least another 7-10 days. That’ll give it the best chance.

nice air cell but in order for an assessment we need better pics from different angles laying on its side is the best way to take pics that way light can patrude through top and bottom of egg.. Any movement ?

I think I see a blue ring but it’s hard to tell

at 13 days it should be further along than it is ... i hate to break it to you but i dont believe that egg will hatch ... it wont hurt to give it a few more days then check it against the pics you just sent to see if there is any growth .. but in my opinion its no longer viable .. crazy things happen like Bacteria , Mother nature .. i wash all of my eggs with peroxide now and clean my incubator with bleach water once a month as i run both of my bators 24/7- 300 days a year and have a solid 97% hatch rate but even with that after hatch we still lose one or two sometimes ... we cant save them all as much as we wish we could !

Here is an Egg i put in on the 4th yours should look the same with the air cell and the retaining shell at bottom almost full . Like i said you can give it a couple of days just to be on the safe side it wont hurt a thing ...
