Hello!

On what day do you discard eggs that didn't hatch?

There's no hard and fast rule. Personally, I give them until day 24. Have you been candling your eggs to see if the eggs were viable?

I'm on day 25 but on one I can hear it pecking again. I candled the eggs and they all were growing nicely.

If they are showing signs of life, then leave them alone. I'm sure the incubating gurus will be along to give further advice, should it be needed.

I finally gave up as the egg had no more pecking or movement. I opened it up and it was fully formed, the yolk all gone. Not sure why it died

We had only 1 chick hatch out of 12 this time.
