Incubator question

[Rounsville83]

I've got roughly 15 eggs left that are in my incubator and were supposed to hatch 6/19 ... 2 of the eggs hatched early on the 17th...

How much longer should I give the eggs before removing them to clean my incubator to try again?

Check your temp make sure it is correct give them I would say at least 3 days

3 days from the 19th? Or 3 days from today?

Have you candled them? If none are pipped, you're fairly safe to pull one out and check what's going on.

I have candles them.. not seeing any piping or movement

@Rounsville83 I've had eggs hatch as late as day 24, but I've heard of eggs hatching on day 28 and still doing fine. Maybe candle the eggs and trace the air sac in pencil. Candle again in 2 or 3 days and see if the air sac has grown at all. If it has then leave the eggs some more because they're still developing. If there is literally no change to the air sac based on what you traced, I'd say to toss them and start again. Make sure to check that your temperature and humidity are stable and at reasonable levels too, as large fluctuations in either parameter will probably cause complications with the developing chick, especially in lockdown
