They will float where the air sack is unless it is fresh then the air sack doesn't have enough bouyancy to float. That doesn't really tell you anything but how big the air sack is and an estimate on how old the egg is. Now if you put the egg in the water real still and then it moves, the chick is alive. Bad news is if there was an external pip in the egg, then you likely drowned the chick.

The first 3 pics are the first egg and so on

There are still veins in there

Ok so one egg was 21 days on the 18th and the other was 21 days on the 19th
There was no pip mark on them when I did the water test and it bobbed around the water and it was still .
I can rake a pic of when I candle them today if that will help
How long do you recon till I call it a day

You want to do your canceling in a dark room. A flashlight on a cell phone works pretty well.

Well it looks like they did develop but even if your incubation parameters are perfect then you may still have one egg that doesn't internally pip and dies from something. I have had 100% hatch from viable eggs but I have had 50% too from my own doings, in hindsight.

Did the others hatch on day 21 or 22? If they did then I would assume the 2 eggs left are dead. I would take the eggs and slowly crack the egg at the top of the air sac and inspect as I went along to see if it moves or chirps. When you get the shell gone where the air sac is, you will know more by looking at the embryo whether it is alive or dead.

Yes I got 9 out of 18 eggs
Ok I will crack them open and look now if it is still alive what do I do once I have cracked them open

Put them back in the incubator with high humidity.
