Yes to all of the above. The eggs were in an egg turner, the incubator was sanitized according to the directions prior to using it this year. None have pipped and I can no longer see movement,even though I saw movement only a few days ago. I cannot see an internal pip. I think they have died.

The ventilation was also as described. Of the two holes one was open, just like last year and according to the directions. I don't think I had low humidity, we added water almost daily. Fan has been operating in the incubator just fine.
When do I throw them away?

My hatches have all failed this year. One I did helped along, fully feathered duckling. Very disappointing indeed. I'm sorry! You could wait a few more days then toss them if you don't see anything.

I'm so sorry. That is really frustrating. It sounds like you were doing everything you could. Maybe there was a problem with the eggs--bad genetics or rough handling before you got them. I'd say wait until morning then try the float test and look for any movement in the water. Sorry.

Perhaps your humidity was to high which can cause them to drown in the shell. What was your humidity levels?
