HELP FAST!!!! I am new at this!

How it going? If I am understanding things right, you didn't have a fan until you put one in on day 24? Then you had a still air bator and the temp should have been 100.5-101 degrees. A fan doesn't increase the humidity, it only circulates the air.

So I had my still air bator set at 99.5 because that is what the directions said...but none are hatching. I did eggtopsy 2 this morning and they were fully formed tiny bit of yolk sac not absorbed but not alive. I have three with veins and movement still. I am on day 22 and there is no pips no movement and no peeping. Should I increase my temp?

I wouldn't now. It could get to high and make matters worse. Just continue, it may just be a day or two longer.

As long as there are signs of life, leave them alone. You don't want your humidity too high as that can also be detrimental. If the windows of the incubator start fogging up, take out the vent plugs and reduce the humidity in your bathroom. Are you sure your thermometer was correct? If it was running low, your eggs will hatch late.
