Day 22 - HELP!

[Greeneyedgirll]

My first ever batch of 6 eggs…
1 hatched on early hours of Monday morning and the rest 5 are still in incubator.
We are now on day 22 and this is what I see… I know 1 egg isn’t going to hatch as the embryo stopped growing. But I’m confused and concerned as to why the other 4 haven’t hatched or pipped yet.
Please help

They may still be absorbing the yolk and preparing to hatch. It’s all about patience. If you don’t see anything moving or developing within the next day or so you may need to help them out, although helping them out may result in physical deformities. If you decide to help them out there are some good articles on this site to walk you through the steps if you don’t already know how.
