Day 24

[missymoo59]

Hey y'all
It's the end of day 24 and my eggs aren't doing a thing! I did the water float thing and they all bobbed the same way. I candled them and they all looked good, I even saw movement!
How much longer could they take?
Maybe I'm completely delusional and they didn't move!
All I know for certain is... waiting 21 days was bad enough but waiting beyond is killing me!

If you take a picture of the eggs being candled from the side we might be able to verify they are living or not. Should there be a lot of eggs just do a few.

Throw them away. They might explode and be a pain in the butt to clean.

While you are probably right I will stick to the advice I gave. Many people have thrown out eggs only to find there was living chicks in them. It's best to be cautious; errors happen-in counting-in temperature.
