Yes, if you're sure they are 29 days along, I would toss them. In fact, I would open them before I tossed them to see if they even started developing and, if so, how far along they got. You know for sure they were fertile, right?

ETA: OR you could play it safe and candle them before tossing them or opening them.

I'd candle, but if it is day 29 for sure, the eggs are well past hatching.... Sorry.

You said some are piping, those will hatch. They were most likely laid later than the others.
Canle the eggs and toss only those you are sure are pass due. If you see movement in any of the eggs give them as chance.
 
Looks like a typo..... "no" pipping fits the sentence though! "to" just doesn't work in the sentence, even if it was "2"!!
 
hey guys, sorry i meant there is NO pipping or peeping, sorry for any confusion. as i was cracking the eggs into the garbage most were just this yellow goo then i cracked one egg and it peeped! so when i put it back under mom the mean rooster cam in and took and broke open the egg and there was a fully formed baby chick inside! so i left the others in there and we'll see. i feel so bad for that chick! ill let you guys know what happens.Thanks
