Day 22, no peeps no pips no wiggles, what now?

Well, welcome to the BYC forums! I have the same Brinsea (the eco, though, it looks like you may have the advance). That is quite a temp drop, I've never had mine drop like that. Do you have an accurate thermometer in there, and a hygrometer that has been calibrated? 80% humidity sounds pretty high to me, even for the last 3 days. Did you candle on day 18? I would leave them for now, if it is just the start of day 22. I don't have any experience with past due eggs, so hopefully someone can give you some better advice on how to proceed. I certainly hope they're okay.
Edit: Sorry, i see now that you candled 2 of them. You saw movement in those 2? I'm wondering if your humidity the last 3 days has been too high.

I just read somewhere that if the hygrometer is inside it will get a bit wet and it will show higher numbers in humidity. Mine is inside, it shows between 74-81% H, I will guess that thats is why it shows.
I did something I know I shouldn't but I candled them pretty quickly and at least 6 out of the 7 show movement. I guess they are ok. They are just late? No pees or wiggles yet, althought I am sitting reading just less than a yard and heard a couple of sudden movements. Is that normal?

Yes, is the mini brinsea. I freaked out this am when I saw Temperature dropped from 37.5 to 32! (sorry, Now I am talking Celsius, I always get confused with F) so, I see now...93.7% T and 80% humidity. H started raising up since lock down (day 19).
Is this normal? Is day 22 again, as of 8 am (is PT 10:51 am).
Thank you by the way! first time incubating, first time join this forum...

if your temp is too low, they might hatch late. also I feel that humidity is too high, even for lockdown.

here are my ideal settings:

day 1-18: 25-35% humidity, 99.5F
day 19-21: 50-60% humidity, 99.5F
(forced air - with fan)

day 1-18: 25-35% humidity, 101F
day 19-21: 50-60% humidity, 101F
(still air - with NO fan)

I'd pick up the eggs and hold them to your ear, see if you hear any peeping or sound from inside. Try lightly tapping on the egg with your fingernail, sometimes that'll reinvigorate the chick inside to make another attempt at pipping. I've had eggs take 23 days and hatched normally. I cant really explain this, but it has happened.

Can you actually take them out of the incubator?
