They were long past their hatch date.

My point was they are asking if the embryos are alive or dead. If they were alive they won't be for long when you take them out. So why ask?

Dead if they aren't developed and hatched by day 21. Interesting pictures though. They would have been moving around when you cracked the eggs open. Don't look decomposed though. Weird. Give the rest a couple of days and candle them again. hen has been on the nest for a full 21 days right?

Not always true. My little chicks hatched at day 25 and are perfectly fine. They are now a month and 4 days old.
