One is actually thirty days old, but it still seems to be alive. I can see a little movement, but it hasn’t even internally pippped

This is not uncommon especially if you are new to incubating eggs and did not have a pre-calculated analog thermometer in the incubator (not the thermometer on your incubator and not digital). Not to mention many new hatchers count the day they were set at day 1 of incubation, but that should be day 0 and day 1 would be the following day.

You may want to read through this article just in case. It’s helped me a ton with troubled babies who couldn’t hatch by themselves.

I’d recommend going ahead and putting in a safety hole sometime today on the peeping / internally pipped on.

Also, sounds odd, but check the entire egg and make sure there isn’t an external pip somewhere that you’ve missed. I had a baby once who was chirping away. I thought they were internally pipped, but they actually had an external pip on the wrong side! They hatched just fine, though
