dead at hatch? First time trying to hatch ...

[kerri496]

I put six eggs to Hatch at day 19. I marked the air spaces-and hatched two chicks in 24 hrs. The other eggs I can see blood vessels but see not movement or hear no sound. I have candled them. It is now day 23. One actually looks like it has liquid loose at the bottom in the air space now. What do people do at this point? Do I wait more? Open them to see when they died? Bury the eggs?

I'd leave them for a couple more days. You never know.

You will need to open them up and see what’s inside. Do not leave them in because they can explode if they’re not good because of all the gases building up inside the egg.
