I have 2 eggs out of the 5 I started out with that developed normally and made it through the entire growth process with ease. The air sacs looked perfect when I candled them the day of lockdown. its day 23 for one egg, and 22 for the other, and so far there's no pips. I candled them carefully, and I couldn't see any movement. what do I do? Did they die on me?
 
Possibly. Did you see an internal pip by chance.
What was your humidity and the, temperature?
Some don’t hatch til up to day 25 if temperature has been low.
 
I didn't see an internal pip, but the dark shells make that hard. My temp was perfect, at 99.5 throughout the entire hatch. humidity was at 45-50%, and brought up to 70% during lockdown.
 
I'm 100% not an expert and have never hatched eggs, but I read that you can gently immerse them in water and if the chick is alive the egg will move around a bit. Obviously take them out ASAP since that's out they receive O2. On that same article I read some eggs can go up to 25 days before they hatch!
