    Day 24 of incubation and still no pips

    On day 21 and 22 we saw movement of a couple of eggs and may have heard a peep but we're now on day 24 and still no pips. Yesterday we did the float test on 1 egg and it showed there was a chick at full term still alive, first time incubating so don't know what to do, any advice?
