Day 23

Like Ms Steak in a previous thread, only I'm on day 23. I don't hear peeping or see any sign of pips. Is all lost? I bought these eggs at a flea market. The man assured me they would be a good hatch. My temps have been steady at 95, Humidity between 50 -55 until lockdown and has been holding steady at 65. We had a morning with no electric and temps dropped to 80. That was on day 13. When I put them in lockdown, they were heavy, so I felt they were developed. I didn't candle them as they are French copper marans, and very dark. How long should I wait?

Never mind. Just went and candled, and none of them are good.

One question though, I put mine in an egg carton at lockdown. I have done this in the past with good results. I noticed that all the air sac was in the small end of the egg. I had put the large end up. Is this correct?

Honestly, at this point if there is no movement or peeping or any sign of life, it doesn't sound good. But, it won't hurt anything to wait a couple of more days just to be absolutely sure.
