Day 21, No Pipping

[chickens really]

roughly how big do they need to be?

They get pretty big and draw down to accommodate the chick so it has oxygen while it pips externally.

Egg 1 Egg 2

I haven't candled after day 18 as i'm worried if I do I may disturb the development of the egg

Egg 1 in your pic would be more preferable.
