    They should be fine [​IMG]

    I've seen people have eggs hatch on day 25 ... and you should always keep the eggs in the bator for atleast another 2 to 3 days after due date cuz some due hatch late.. and on the day you do take them out before throwing them away candle them just to make sure you still don't have any moving chicks in them

    I have found that I'll have a few pip...wait awhile...then a bunch pip around the same time. It varys. And just when you think those last few eggs aren't going to make it...a couple of those pip. [​IMG]
