gimme birdies, that's great!! They're adorable! We are just at the end of the 21st full day and I don't see any eggs wobbling and I don't hear chirping. No pips. I was so hopeful that I would get at least one chick out of this batch. I've been hovering over the incubator. Tapping on it, chirping and whistling into it. Nothing. I do know that it's common for chicks to hatch on day 22 or 23, so I'm still hopeful!
 
Hopefully they will get going over the next 24 hours

Have you tried candling them again to check? What you can also do to check, but wait a bit first, is take the eggs one by one and hold them snug against your ear, then tap them gently with your fingernail. If there is a live chick in there and it pipped into the air cell, it will probably respond by either pecking the shell or chirping.
 
It's been 23 full days in an hour and half. So, we're almost on day 24 and still no chickies. I'm beginning to lose hope. BUT, on the positive note, I have 6 more eggs in the incubator with the egg turner. (the 7 eggs that were blasted with high temps are in a Little Giant and at 98.5 degrees) The other 6 eggs will go into lockdown on Wednesday and I candled them last night... They are alive!! at least 4 are anyways. What do you guys think? Should I candle the eggs or give them another day or 2?
 
I'm just now experiencing my first hatch and this actually happened to me on day 2, except my incubator increased to 115 for about an hour and a half....we had 1 chick hatch last night before bed, 1 hatch over night, I needed to do an assisted hatch (not sure if she's going to make it yet or not) and I have three more trying to get out as I'm typing this. I started with 11 eggs, three of them quit on me, 3 are hatched, 3 are hatching, and 2 haven't done anything yet.

I would def wait it out. Good luck!
 
None of those babies hatch. I'm too squeamish to do an eggscopy.

I do however have some eggs going into lockdown in a few hours.
