normally my chicks all hatch a day early, now i'm on day 22 and not even a pip! I took them out to candle, no movement, nothing. one looks like maybe it died several days go the other 2 look fully formed but nothing is happening... my stupid incubator has been screwy the last week, i wonder if it killed them all? thinking of going down to TSC and getting a new one since they are on sale, anyone have one of those? does it work? my incubator now is at lest 10 yrs old, and until this year has been doing great... 
** So i picked up the egg today and it felt considerably cooler than before, candled it, no movement. I carefully opened it up and it was a fully formed dead chicky.
I'm sad now none of the eggs hatched.
I have 3 thermometers of different kinds in there, all said the same temp, humidity kept being weird but i kept an eye on it and it never got back down under 40 before i added more water... I don't know it it was the eggs, or me, or the incubator that went wrong. I'm worried now because i have shipped eggs arriving in the next couple days and think i may go down to TSC and get a new incubator, but IDK if i want to first time try it out with those eggs??? Or do i try again with this one?
