Hey Guys,

On the 27th of July I set two Polish x Delaware cross eggs in my little incubator. Both of them developed fully and one of them hatched out Tuesday morning. Tomorrow will be day 25 for the other egg, it has not pipped or anything and last time I candled it (Monday night) it was as well developed as the other one. When do I call it quits on the egg? I have never hatched chicks before and was wondering if I need to give up on this one.

ETA: Just read where TennesseTruly's eggs started hatching at day 26 so was wondering what the latest someones eggs have gone before they hatched.

Sadly I would say if it hasn't hatched as of yet then the chick has probably died.
 
Thanks guys ! That is what I figured but just thought I would ask those with more experience !
 
Yep - day 25 I toss 'em...
