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?
 
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!
