Broody left rest of her eggs and they are peeping!

The 3rd hatched early this morning! I don’t see movement or hear peeping in the other 2 so I feel they most likely aren’t viable. Is there a way I can tell for sure before I throw them?

Candle them and describe what you see.....

I see the chicks inside with the air pocket, no cracks yet, no movement visible

They could be resting.

It’s day 24

I am hoping she was a bit delayed keeping these eggs under her well enough.

I would candle again in a few hours........

Disclaimer....I have not incubated before even though I have read a ton on here.

Do a float test? Warm water in a glass, put the egg in and watch. If it moves and makes ripples..baby is good. I think if it sinks..its bad. Can google float test unless someone knows more detail.
I almost pitched one till I did this and the darn thing chirped..lol

I separated the last one to hatch because it isn’t walking too well yet and the others won’t leave it alone. Do I need water in there yet where it only hatched 6 hours ago? Or can I leave it in here with nothing and put them all back together in a few hours when it’s perked up a little?

Since it was a late hatcher I would put food and water in with it.
I would keep a close watch on the temp in the area it is so it doesn't get to chilled or overheat.
