Day 23 is the latest I have had them hatch, if you had temp drops during incubation it won't hurt to leave them in for 1 more day to make sure, have you checked for internal pips?
 
I set 13 eggs last night, 7 RIR and 6 silkies, these are all my own eggs so I am very eggcited!!!!

I have 2 pips this morning. It was about 5:30 when I got up and at first I didn't realize what I was looking at. Then I'm like

Can't wait for more pips and for some zipping. And, of course some hatched babies!

Going to wait until April to set a batch of chicks this year. Anxious to follow along with your batches and learn some new methods and tips.

Had to do a rescue last night, 1 of my first cochin eggs that had a big pip about the size of my thumb got shrink wrapped, everyone else had hatched that had pipped and I could see him in his shell still moving and he had been like that for almost 48 hours, so I took a bobby pin and broke him away from the shell but half of his body was like glued where he couldn't move and his eyes were sealed shut so DH and I filled up the the sink with warm water and put him in it and gently took a wash cloth and dabbed his eyes till he could open them them got his wing unglued by submerging his body in the warm water and gently massaging his little body. We got all the goop off him and put him back in the bator to dry and he slowly started walking around and building up his strength and this morning he was so alert! I had planned on selling all the cochins I hatched and was only going to keep my silkies but I'm going to keep this little guy, he's a miracle!! I was so happy so see him chirping at me this morning!!!

I did a rescue on my 1st hatch 2 weeks ago..... I peeled back 1/2 of the shell and put him back in the bator and the other chicks started pecking really hard at his leg!!!

So I freaked out snatched him back out and he came out of the shell without absorbing all of the yolk. I was sure he wasn't going to make it... He had an unhealed "plug" where the umbilical cord was... Anyways, he turned out to be the feistiest chick!!! I believe because he is so thankful that I saved him... and I say him b/c he is SO A BOY!!! I swear he came out and stood up tall like a human.... Anyways I live in the city and can't have roosters so will be SO SAD to see him go.... Anybody want Chicken Little??? Yep thats his name ....
