I have 6 mix eggs in the hatcher, today is Day 20.
My Golden Phoenix eggs will be Day 18 on Thursday, so should I quickly move the Phoenix eggs and hope for the best or if the mix eggs still haven't hatched should I just let them go?
I know this is my fault for getting carried away and putting so many eggs in the bator.
 
Do you have another bator/hatcher? I know its even later now - you might have chicks hatching, I'd remove those eggs that still have a few days to go and put them in another warmed up ready to go bator if you have it.
 
I have two bators, one is a still air and used as a hatcher.
I think it worked itself out as the last two are about hatched. Today is Day 21 and the other 4 eggs I am confident won't hatch. No movement at all and I quickly candled yesterday and no movement from them.
I hope slowpoke hurries up and pops out , he is zipped and pushing just not all the way out. This would mean I would be able to move those 2 to a brooder in the morning and give the hatcher all day tomorrow to get back up in temp and humidity.
Luckily none of these chicks made a huge mess, so I think a good wipe with some anti bacterial wipes new non slip stuff a little water and we should be good.
