That's better closer to hatch day. 
Can anyone tell me what day of incubation this egg is on?

Should I be concerned that it's already shaking? How long after the egg starts shaking that the chick actually hatches out?That's better closer to hatch day.

That I can't tell you because it's hard to watch when the egg is under a hen which is my case.
@chickens really

Moving can happen close to hatch time or right at. Candling will tell you more than a float test(honestly I never use float test)... see if the air cell has tilted drastically to one side, the higher end might show a bulge too... that would mean it is definitely 'lockdown' time and hatch is imminent (within 2 days or so)...

I just used the float test to make sure baby was still alive. The air cell seems small to me. It's not drastically tilted to one side. There is a slight tilt but not much.
