Still no external pip but can’t check if it’s still alive as have a couple that are hatching. Once they’ve hatched I’ll re candle and check what’s going on

Update- so I opened the egg up as it wasn’t alive I did float test and candled opened it up and the chick was totally normal, perfect size so I’m so it either did some crazy growing over the last few days or I don’t know why it candled like that. I feel awful but I know even if I intervened sooner it would’ve died at was covered it fluid and not fully absorbed the yolk. I also had 4 others that didn’t make it, so I’m absolutely gutted and don’t know why, one of them was fully ready to go just didn’t make it to external pip, why? Feel like I should’ve helped them sooner. The other 3 eggs, chicks was huge for the eggs so think they just couldn’t get in position, feel crap. So out of 8 eggs I’ve had only 3 hatch feel like a failure, but then got to remember it’s been a good 3 year since I last incubated. I have some others on day 5 in the other incubator and can’t see them working great as they was shipped and every single one has detached air cell or saddle air cells. And be followed all advise with this, not turned them for 3 days and started yesterday with one small turn, but then read another post where they advise not turning them for 7 days so don’t know what to do. They’re in upright position, which I’ve never done before so just going to hope for the best. Any tips anyone for next time round? X
