I have had my chicken eggs in the incubator for 23 days now and none of them had hatched. I couldn't figure out how to raise the humidity and I looked it up yesterday and now the humidity is where it needs to be. Will these chicks still hatch or are they no good?? Please help me. Thanks
 
21 days is just a guide for the incubation period. Some are early and some are later. How have your temps been during incubation? If your temps have been a little on the low side this could delay the hatch. Have you candled the eggs at all during incubation to see how they have developed? Did you stop turning the eggs on day 18?

My temp has been at 100. And yes I have candles the eggs and 14 of them are good. Also, yes I have stopped turning them on day 18
 
Have you double checked your thermometer is accurate? My guess would be that it is off if eggs had been developing but still have not hatched. Is there any rocking or chirping? What was your humidity during incubation and now? Consider candling them now to see if they are moving. If you hold them up to your ear you may hear the chick pecking the inside of the egg.
