Default Egg worries :(

This egg is on day 30, and I'm a little concerned that it has died, the other two eggs have loads of veins, and move if you candle them but this one dosen't any thoughts would be appreciated x

Never found not moving to be a worry, but not seeing veins when you do in other eggs the same age is a worry.

Maybe it has died but I would leave it in the incubator until there is absolutely no doubt that it is dead.

No the egg hasn't changed colour. I'm just going to wait and see what happens.
