So you're hatching shipped eggs? That could explain your low hatch rate. Three more days should give them a chance if they're going to hatch. I would suggest disposing of the one that doesn't look like it has anything in it. You don't want to take a chance on that exploding. Maybe check out the Hands On Hatching and Help thread to see if it would be beneficial to help the ones that are peeping.No all of the 12 eggs where bought from the same seller on Ebay and where all placed in the nest after 24 hours had passed. Also none of my other hens can get in the nest box, as I moved them to another chicken house, because they all like that one nest box for their eggs and the broody hen did like them try to get in the nest box.
I'll wait a 3 day or more and see what happens.
I've candled them, 3 of them look fully developed, I can hear peeping from many two of them and 1 look like its got nothing in the egg. no egg has piped yet.

Just for future info-----Your Nose should have warned you of that before you attempted it----Yuk!!So I when to make a pipe hole and to peel some of the shell from the egg not breaking the egg's membrane to see what has happened in the egg. When I broke the shell, it went bang and a big piece of the shell came off, it was a rotten egg.
EEEEWWWWW YUCK SO GROSS!!!
