Today is 21st day of the other egg still no pipping on shell can i open and check it ?

Adorable baby!!

What else is in the incubator and how quickly does your humidity recover?? Its probably safe to check it quickly, just to put your mind at ease, but you need to keep that humidity up!

Another chicken egg in incubator room humidity is 56 today

Its "safe" to check it, if you must.

Is there any way to shine through the window? With mine, if I get at just the right angle, shine the light near the bottom of the egg, look from the side or directly over, I can usually see the air cell.

I'm guessing your temperatures must be running a bit low, for these delayed hatchings. Next time, you might want to bump it up just a hair.

Do you have nutridrench? Or those little packets of electrolytes and vitamins?

I'm no expert but possibly you could try bathing his eyes with warm water and cotton wool? don't know if anyone else can suggest anything else at this stage. Have you tried tapping the water bowl to see if he wants a drink? I know it's early days and he should still be ok without food usually for a couple of days as he has nutrition still from his yolk sac. I dipped my chicks beak in the water pot after 1 day and he readily drank some water on his own after that. Hope someone else on the forum can be of further assistance. Hope he comes round.

what are the names of vitamins should i give?

 

[WVduckchick]

These little packets are easy and cheap, a dollar or two, for 3 packs.

or a bottle of Nutridrench is great to keep on hand.

You could even try a little sugar in some water and see if it helps. Sometimes they will perk up, and sometimes chicks "fail to thrive".
