Eggs due to hatch 16th got nothing

I am an amature at this incubating thing as well. Went and spent $14.97 on a stethoscope at Walmart. I was able to hear them chirping and their little heart beats. When everyone else had hatched and the eggs that had not hatched were very noisy with the stethoscope, I cracked them open myself. About half of the eggs, 13 I opened. Chicks all survived. They simply were not strong enough to get through the tough shells. We have a limestone gravel driveway and everyone tells me now tough my chicken eggs are to crack. Must be the amount of calcium they are getting.
 
Did float test all appear viable. Will give it it a little longer

My 1st try I got 3 out of 40 to hatch, 2nd ($100 worth of eggs!!!) 2 out of 42!!! I'm in Day 16 of this try and looks like I have about 18 of my 26 doing fine. I lowed the humidity to 25-35% this time. Seems to be working for me... Good luck to you
