I agree. Usually eggs that are going to hatch do so within 48 hours of the first hatcher, however there are exceptions. Before you water candle I would do a normal candle to check for movement and internal pips. (I'm not a fan of water candling, and don't do it.) Also candling before water candling may reveal a pip/crack that you haven't seen and water candling a pipped egg can cause a chick to drown.At day 23, if there is no pip holes in any, and no movement when candled, I'd say they're goners. and if they did hatch, you will likely have problems with them. I don't know how to do a float test, but if you put that into the BYC search field, I'm sure tons of things will pop up on that subject.
I'm sorry only one hatched for you!
Definitely. Temp and humidity are the two most important things in hatch. Either one can make or break your hatch.
I would candle first and look for internal pips/movement. If none, then I would tap into the air cells to double check and then proceed to eggtopsies.should i poke a hole in the eggs and see if they haven live chicks alive the roster is big and the eggs are rather small
You're welcome.thank you for the help
