Day 22, 3 of my chicks hatched,
It is now Day 25 and I have three eggs that haven't had any progress. How much more time should I give them? Silkies are what I am hatching.

I mislabeled my post the first time and hope that doesn't hurt the reach
 
Candle them and see if there is movement or peeping. A safety hole in the air cells for any who are internally pipped might give them a chance to hatch on their own.

If you don’t see any sign of life you can assume they are goners. I personally like to open up the eggs starting at the air cell and try figuring out what happened. I also just like to make sure they aren’t alive before tossing them.
