I have a hovabator genesis and love it; have great hatch rates. I decided to borrow someone's inccuview incubator for lockdown/hatching this time so I could have better visibility and live stream my hatch. Hatch day is today and 6/15 eggs hatched yesterday afternoon through early this morning. I had to help 3 out as they got stuck in the zipping/pushing part of hatching. They were stuck to shell and their down is all stuck to them. I gave them 2 bathes each so far to try and get the stickiness off. The humidity level was fine but I think the fan is really close to them and blows really strong and dried them out. I have 9 eggs left that I candled and have no internal pips or movement. I put them back in the hovabator. What are the chances these might still hatch?
 
Stay out of the incubator, and you may want to elevate the humidity just a bit. I'd wait at least another couple days.
 
They may have been resting when you candled. I have had a chick hatch on day 25 to my surprise. Good luck and have fun...
