Day 18 important candleing question

[Pinenot]

It is now day 18 for some of my eggs and I went to candle them tonight and they are very much alive. My question is that they still have a lot of fluid under them. I would say 1/4 of the egg is still fluid. The air cell looks fine. I was wondering if they are behind and if I should wait a couple more days to stop turning them????

No, you always stop turning on day 18 so they can get into position for pipping and hatching....might be that they would be a late hatch even on day 24...there is really not a set day 21 they will hatch....can be anywhere from day 19 to 24 or 25...just depends on temps and humidity...
