Help!! Incubating pekin eggs, 2 days overdue!!

[debadoodledoo]

so I have 12 eggs candled and fertile on day 18 temp 37.6 turned humidity up, but day 23 and not a single pip, I have put in another digi thermometer which is reading 32,7c, which means (if it is correct) that is has been running 5 degrees under!!! So now do I turn it up 5 degrees? or will they just hatch late?
I have always used a broody hen but i can always hear the chicks near hatch day but I hear nothing
Please advise me.

Like most Americans reading your post, I'm thinking your hatch isn't late, you are early expecting ducks to hatch in 21 days. Then I remember reading that in Great Britain Pekins are chickens which were of course due in 21 days. If none have pipped yet you could candle a few and see what's happening. I don't think I'd change the temp at this late date for fear of over shooting the desired temperature. Hopefully they are just delayed by the low temperature and will be hatching soon. Hoping for the best for you.

Aaah yes pekin chickens lol
Well I rang r-com who make the incubator and they told me how to re-calibrate.
The incubator was running 7 degrees celcius under so it is now at the correct temp and seeing as they are overdue anyway i figured I have nothing to lose so will keep them in a few days longer just incase one pulls through.
Thank you for your advice xx
