We are on day 22 in the incubator, one chick hatched yesterday, and I don’t hear peeping or see movement from the other two eggs. The temperature has been consistent, but the humidity has gone up and down slightly through incubation, but I am worried they may not hatch. We started with ten eggs and on day 18 only three were alive still, so I’m a little nervous that one may be lonely if it’s the only one to survive 🥺
 
Just keep waiting, they may just be late.
Still waiting and there is no movement or chirping. I did the water test and about 25% (maybe a little more) of the egg was above water. Do you think we should still be patient? I have a feeling neither of them made it, unfortunately. I candled them and air pocket was almost half of the eggs, sideways, bit towards the end of the egg like usual. I’m losing hope with incubating as I haven’t had more than a 10% hatch rate. So disappointed.

Half the egg usually means about day 14.... so sorry that they didn't hatch...

They were almost fully developed, so I’m not sure what happened! Here are the chicks/eggs that didn’t make it. It looks like on pipped through the membrane but lost strength.
