Day 24 and no pips - but eggs are rocking - what do I do?

[SpeckledPullet]

8 of my eggs have hatched. Most hatched on day 22, a few hatched day 23, and one hatched today (day 24). So, I have 5 eggs left in the bator. 3 of those have OBVIOUS rocking movement, but I do not hear chirping as of yet. In all fairness, 4 of these eggs were all slow developing embyros. They always appeared days younger than my other eggs.

So, what do I do? Do I leave them in the bator and hope they hatch? How often have you all had chicks hatch on day 25 or later?

I also assume I must have some colder spots in my homemade bator. Something must have caused the delayed development, so it must be that.

Any thoughts?

Leave them in. If you dont see any pips by tomorrow, I would candle them to see whats going on.

If they are just slower developing and getting close to hatching, would taking them out of the bator harm them?
