Hello! First time Hatcher here! Today is day 23 in the incubator. I started with 12 eggs. 1 was malpositioned and 24hr after pip died. 9 others hatched on days 20/21 and are healthy in my brooder! The last 2 eggs have no sign of hatching. How long do I wait and what should I do to check them?? I don’t want to loose hope, but I also don’t want to leave them sitting forever- the incubator is getting kinda funky from all the goop from the other hatches. Check out this variety that hatched- what a fun experience this has been for my family!

yes candle the eggs, tap them, listen, pick them up and feel for vibrations but most likely they never made it. Before you do throw them away you can do one final test of placing them in a glass of water, that has been warmed up to 38 degrees C first. This is not something you should generally do but if you are thinking of throwing them out as day 23 is late then place them in the water and check for any movement which is quite noticeble floating in water. If no movement then the eggs are dead and can be removed.
 
Have you candled the eggs
Yes, they are dark eggs so very difficult to see. One doesn’t seem to have an air cell, so I assume that one is gone? The other looks like this (pictured) but no obvious movement that I could see
