Day 23~ how long to wait before taking unhatched eggs out?

if you dont have an external pip, you wont need to worry about humidity and shrink wrapping.

I would go ahead and candle

Awesome I'll do that then!

Keep us updated

Will do! I'm gonna go candle them now.

Candled the last 7 eggs and 3 of them weren't developed at all so I removed them. 4 eggs left. They are all super dark with just a tiny air cell at the bottom. I can't see any veins or anything. I am going to assume these are still ok unless someone tells me otherwise. They are green/blue eggs so it's hard to see.

How *tiny* were the aircells? did you see a significant slant? Aircell should draw down quite a bit towards the end of the incubation. Did you see any movement?

Eitherway, it won’t hurt to wait a bit longer

Well it's been 4 days since the eggs were due to hatch and still no pips. Is it time to do eggtopsies on them now to see what went wrong?

I would start opening them from the aircell area, and work your way in from there. Check for movement in the membrane. some coconut oil on the membrane should help you see inside without having to peel it open.

Personally I’m to chicken to do eggtopsies on eggs beyond day 3 of development

Can I switch my eggs to a better incubator after a few days?

You should probably start your own thread. But I'd say no, you shouldn't move them.
