Eggs Just Got Here And I’m Freaking Out!

Anything yet?

No
It's been more than 24 hours since I heard them.

It's been a long time, and they're due. I would candle them and look for internal pips, and maybe make some safety holes depending on what you're comfortable with and what you see when candling.

Ok.
An internal pip looks like a beak in the air cell, right?
Should I use a screw?
Thanks for all the help

I use a screw. Here is a great resource in case you decide they need help. Guide to Assisted Hatching.

Thanks! I just candled, and I could see the baby (internally pipped) moving and still alive and chirping!!!! I made a safety hole.

If this was the only one what was pipped internally, they might just be late getting along. With all my hatches I've had a few stragglers that don't pip until day 23, so I wouldn't be too worried. Just keep your humidity up and keep your eye on them.

okay, that makes me feel better.
