Now i have 21 hatched and i can see one more pipping, lowered the temp to 99.5 from 100 and the humidity was 25 to 40 instead of 40 to 50, tried dry incubation and it seemed to work for me. 8 eggs left to go.

I started another 37 on Thursday as a kind of emergency set.I have a friend who was saving eggs from his established stock, then he got a call from his son who was clearing a brush pile behind some apartments when he found a nest of 11 small white chicken eggs. He said he had seen a black hen and rooster earlier hanging around, but didn't know where the had went. So he brought the eggs home to his dad. I candled them and they all looked clear, no blood lines or dark spots. Since my incubator was already set up waiting for his eggs, we just started early with 26 of his and the 11 field eggs. Will do the first candle next Thursday and hope for the best.
I went on lock down on Monday and so far I have 3 pips as of this morning. The 11 found eggs never developed, but it was worth a try.
Im so tired but not giving up on these babies!! One is a little weaker but its getting stronger by the hour
Aww, I was so curious about them.
I was too, I had hoped so much that we had saved them but I candled them on lock down day and they were as clear as the first day. So out of the 26 eggs left I currently have 4 babies and 5 piPS so far.
