Day 21 no external pip.

brinsea said it was calibrated

Was this your first time using the incubator? Usually calibrating needs to be done before every hatch. Also a power outage can definitely cause a delay. Any time an egg spends incubating that is below optimum temperature will delay the hatch.

during the outage lowest eggs got in temp was 20, that was only for 15 minuts, ive used it Once before

If your humidity was that high they most likely already drowned.

Hello!

I have a couple of questions just because I'm curious.
My questions will probably not affect your current eggs in any way.

What exactly were you running your humidity at the first 20 days?

How many times did you candle throughout the first 20 days?

Are you even sure that these last few eggs are still alive?
If you don't candle then you don't know so I highly recommend candling now.


At hatch time your air cell is going to be this big:
Also this is what an internal pip looks like... Notice the shadows moving around in the air cell.

If you're air cell is not that big and you don't see movement then it is highly likely your chick is already dead.

It will hurt nothing for you to candle at this point.

That probably did not make a difference whatsoever.

I candled them 3 times, the last time was day 19, egg was fully blacked out with an aircell

 

[River campbell]

they did not drown as I was just following what brinsea said, again humidity first 20 days was 40-50% like brinsea said

 

[River campbell]

again im unaware if they have internal pipped yet, they are only 1-2 days overdue

I would candle them personally. With no external pip the risk of shrink wrapping is minimal. I personally never trust an instrument that hasn't been calibrated before a hatch. I've had brand new incubators be just as off as my old ones especially shipped ones.

the thing is, its 9 am...
