    How long is to long for chicks to hatch?

    The eggs were supposed to hatch today and none of them have even pipped! And last time I waited approx 5 days after due date and nothing happened and when I threw them out everyone of them had a fullsize chick in it. I don't want to do that again! Thanks in advance. Andi
