Are my chicks alive?

[BackyardAnimalsDucks]

So i have three eggs on day 25. No beaks in the air cell. I did a float test and no movement and same with candling. Should i discard the eggs?

You should plan for an assisted hatch, but it will likely turn into an eggtopsy. I had one I started investigating at 25 days - it passed the float test, but appeared to have died around 19 days considering its position and lack of yolk absorption. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised, but doesn't seem likely with no movement or internal pip.
Below is good for setting yourself up just in case:

I had a day 25 chick that had pipped for a few days. Got hyper and cut a bigger hole for it. Popped out and is my healthiest chick!
