Still viable to leave in incubator?

[Shelbysoobs]

Today is hatch day, day 21. I’ve been lacking confidence in the viability of these shipped hatching eggs for the last several weeks. I had 1 egg I had hopes for out of the 12, but left most of them in just in case I was missing something (hard to see through the dark shells). I have heard NO peeps, we have NO pips. The first egg did move on its own after the incubator stopped turning the eggs but that was several days ago. I did candle these because I’m afraid of an egg exploding but I candled them without moving them and got the room humidity up to the same level as incubator so hopefully no shrink wrapping. Would you say this egg looks like a late demise or could it still be viable and hatch late? Then the second is likely also not viable can you confirm?

Doesn’t look great. Those are the kind you don’t probably think are good but live in fear of throwing away and finding you were wrong.

YES exactly! I was hoping at least 1 would hatch but I guess we’ll find out in a few days lolol

They look like the chick stopped developing. To small for day 21

That egg died a few days ago.

This eggs are dead Day 21 most of the egg should be dark because of the chick taking up most of the egg. Even if they were behind at that size if it was alive there would be veins.

Thank you that was my suspicion.

Thank you for confirming the veins. I never really saw any veining at all and wasn’t sure how much would be obscured by the brown shells.
