Are my eggs gonna hatch!!?!!

[Poultry_guy]

I am on the 23rd day and 4 out of the 7 eggs I had have hatched. I have three eggs left. None of the three have pipped. They have been rolled around a lot. Do I need to worry about them. Also I just had one to hatched and the membrane left is red!! Also two of the eggs were set 18 hours later than the others.

It is not unheard of for chicks to hatch that late. I was just reading in another thread that you should give until the 26th day. I have a tendency to wait far longer than necessary to throw eggs out because I hold onto that thread of hope and feel awful thinking I may kill a chick who is about to hatch. Are you completely hands-off or have you examined the eggs at all? Seems like you would hear some pecking or something at this point if they are alive.
