Hatch Day? Or Not? HELP NEEDED!!!!!

[combatfuzzball]

I have been incubating 12 eggs for a while. I forgot the exact date would make 21 days however I think it would be tomorrow or Thursday. Yet I had 7 hatch out on Saturday. 1 egg wasn't viable over a week ago.
Most of these eggs are Easter Egger eggs so they are Green or Blue and I can't see anything candling them.
So these 4 remaining eggs haven't made any noise and I can't candle them. How long should I wait before giving up?

Chicks sometimes hatch early. Why can't you candle? Here's a shot of my putting a tray into lockdown (that's three days before hatch).

Trying to candle eggs when they're close to hatching can be tricky. I'd candle the eggs again and look at the air sack and see if any of them has internally pipped. you can tell by seeing a silhouette of a peck that broke threw the air sack.

The issue is the eggs seem to be so dark I can't see inside. I'll try again tonight maybe.

Did you set them all on the same day? If you did, my guess would be that the 7 hatched "on time" and the rest aren't going to hatch.

Thanks for all the help. Of the 4 that didn't hatch 3 had actually grown so large they took up the air sac space. There were no obvious signs of defects in any of them.
Part of my thinking is even though they are from Easter Eggers it's very clear they have many Araucana traits. Such as the "Tailless" trait along with the beard and Muffs.
Is it possible they could have inherited the Death Gene that plagues Aracauna's?
