I have been candling the eggs all weekend and there is so much going on inside that its hard to see anything. One of the eggs, however, hasn't shown any development since day 7 and had started to show a blood ring (meaning that bacteria has got inside the egg).
Today I removed the 'dead egg' to stop the others going bad. Above are two photographs of chick embryos. The top image shows that an 11 day old embryo should look like and the bottom image shows the embryo from the dead egg. As you can see, the peep has only developed to 'day 7' stage, at day 11 it should be much bigger than this and you should see claws and a beak.
