Here is some pics of em. They all look like this except the ones which are developing.

You can stop incubating those if you want, they appear to never have developed.

I always open eggs that didn't hatch. That way you know whether is was not fertile or something else.

 

[elmi]

okey. Will do. Kinda scared that those two wont make it either. i've heard so much ppl talking about chicks dying while hatching but i hope they'll be fine.

Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Here is a video of one of the embryos moving . also, does the air cell look normal for a 7 day old.

Cool! Here is a picture you can compare your eggs to.



ETA: I was trying to post an egg air cell chart, but I don't think it went through. Sorry. Just look it up on google images, and you should get some good stuff.

 

[elmi]

well according to the air cell chart my eggs are normal (for now). Also if you guys have any tips for hatching i'd like some.
First time hatching so tips are welcome .

What are you keeping your heat and humidity at?

Cool vid...air cell looks good to me.

More info on your incubator and how you are measuring heat and humidity(and if you tested these devices) would help.
There's a crapton of info on hatching here on BYC just start reading some of the other threads.

Im keeping my humidity at 35-45% most of the time and temperature is around 37,5-38°C.
im using a homemade still air styro-bator. i've read like a million threads and im feeling pretty confident but you can never know too much
