I’ve had five chicks hatch but no pipping from my other four, are they dead?

#2 is definitely dead. Do you see any movement from the other eggs? Any veins?
I haven’t seen any movement or veins no, those are my last four eggs and all I see is black and the air pockets, well all but one which looks like it might’ve died quite early, I can kind of see a small shape in it like when the chick is first forming but that is the second

If there are no views and no movement, they are likely dead. Do the contents of the egg slosh around when you turn it? Thats another sign they died.
If your like me, a curious hatchery, than you can do an eggtopsy, more experienced members might be able to say why they died.
