Day 21!

[EmberJewel]

Hi, new to posting but have can been stalking for a long time. Started with 5 eggs but one quit around 1 week into incubation. They were all hitting their marks right on time... We checked everyone Thursday afternoon, looked good! Movement on 3/4 - the other was totally black but had been the biggest of all this whole time. Increased the humidity to 65-70 on Friday.. temp 99.7/100 with bulb at the top of the eggs and digital upfront. One chick pip on Saturday, day 19 at 1pm, unzipped at 1030pm. Thriving.
Now it's Monday and nothing. No pip to be seen on the others at all. Still cruising at the correct temp/humidity.

*What would cause termination at this point at lockdown for the remaining eggs if they definitely were alive at lockdown?
*I have not pulled the hatched chick yet because of lockdown but tonight will be 48 hrs and she's fluffed so I think I will. I can snag her quickly without dropping humidity below 65.
*When should I forego lockdown?
*Should I came l candle them at 25 days?

I'm devastated.

They might still be alive. Definitelt remove that chick. Take a mist bottle and spray the eggs with warm water to bring the humidity up. If there are no external pips candle the eggs and look for any internal pips. (Pics below) I wouldn't give up on them yet. I've had a couple hatch on day 26.

Should I candle today or wait a few more days and then do it?

If there are no external pips you can do it now. It won't hurt a thing
