Day 20 - Nothing

It's day 20,
No pips, no cheeps, no movement at all...

Arghhhrhh!

What on earth is going on? I candled them last night to see what was going on, there is a big black mass toward the air cell, and possibly feet or blood vessels or something around the bottom.  A big amount of the egg isn't filling though...

At first I though - "okay, it must be yolk that hasn't be absorbed yet" but it's not getting any smaller.

It must be nearly half the egg that's yolk...i'm very worried. One of the eggs has a very small air cell as well. That night when the power went out might have set it back a few days.

I will give them till the 27 before opening them to see what the problem was. The other eggs in there are just about on lock-down, tomorrow i think. Those eggs weren't here when the power went out so they should be okay if that's the reason.

Will update you if there is any change.
Night.
