I have had 6 chicks hatch and its day #22. There is 3 eggs with no pip and no movement. Should I candle them again to see if there fertile and then throw them away. Is it still possible for one of them to hatch?
 
Did you candle at all during incubation? If so, how did they look before lockdown?
I would candle them again and post photos here. Sometimes you get late birdies, and its not entirely unusual.
I did candle them. At lockdown, they all looked fertile. I think I will candle them again tonight
 
I don't throw away eggs until day 25. If you candle them, make sure you do it quickly so you don't release to much humidity and heat.
Candling is perfectly fine on lockdown. Theres a common misconception that it can shrink warp the eggs, but you don't have to worry about that unless the humidity drops for an extended period of time. I wouldn't worry about it to much, though good to be cautious. :)
 
What do you mean you saw it move? When you candled did you see the embryo move? Or did the egg move? I don't think either is a sign that the egg died, I think that means theres a good chance its alive.
I think I saw the egg move. I haven't heard any peeping coming out of the egg
