Fertile eggs won't hatch

[Fwoof]

Have the eggs internally pipped?

No, so should I help them today?
I want to do what's best.

How would you go about helping them?
I know you do. But there’s a lot of things that can go wrong with hatching, and sometimes trying to help can make things worse.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

No. Do not help them. They will either hatch or they won't

Okay. How long should I leave them under Lobo if they're still growing?

 

[Hannahk92]

No, don't help to hatch. They will come out when they are good and ready and believe me it can take a while. 21 days is a guideline. Soke hatch before that and some hatch after. A few of mine didn't hatch until day 23.

Agreed.
Or they’re dead.

Agreed.

I don't want Lobo to sit on them longer for nothing, though.
What do i do?

Since you don’t know the exact day the eggs are on, let her sit for a few more days.

I candle every other day when I have questionable eggs and generally wait about 28 days before worrying. I had 2 I thought were dead that wound up not being dead just today
