i am now today on day 21 on incubating my chicks 🐥, but haven’t heard a peeping noise kind of worried but last time i candled my eggs, they were active & moving but something happened just now, there was a bug on my incubator so i was trying to get it off & i accidentally moved the incubator & it moved the eggs as well, i then opened the incubator set the eggs apart for space & then closed it fast so the temp would not go away, & i have the humidity set to 70% with 2 hydrometer, will they still hatch 🤔😞? (this is a image on day 17)

I don’t hatch chickens but I’ll comment in hopes it will bump it up
I do hatch ducklings and as long as there is no external pips it should be perfectly fine. Even if there was and it was fast it should still be ok
Reasons for a late hatch are to high of humidity and or to low of heat both those can cause later hatched.
I myself don’t run that high of humidity with my duck eggs I shoot for 60-65
Chicken eggs don’t need near as high I don’t think
Hopefully somebody who hatched chickens can jump on and help

That chicken egg you candled is no where near ready to hatch.
It looks like a day 10-12 egg.
A chick or duck or anything ready to hatch will be all dark inside except for the air cell.
If you took that on day 17 I'd say that your eggs are a full 7 days behind what you think they are. Or at least that egg is.
