Hello BYC community. Last month I constructed my own incubator from a plastic tote and since then I put five eggs in it to test the hatching capabilities of it. However, during the incubation process, there were temperature fluctuations, some being high and others low. On day 14 I candles and saw movement, and on day 18 the eggs showed up really dark as they were supposed to when candled. It is now day 22 and there is no signs of any hatching going on. I for someone reason decided not to install a window component on the incubator so I can't tell if there is any movement, but I know for sure there is no peeping. Do you think these chicks have died or is there still hope. I have never had no chicks hatch on day 21 or before, so I am new to this. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
