What you need to do is tap on the egg.See if there is any tap back If not
Carefully start at the big end. chip some shell away..(not membrane).see if you see movement if you do stop and put back in incubator

At day 26 i thnik they are dead but you still want to open them anyway (eggtopsy )and see what stage they were when they died or if they are just yolks .See so you can have a better hatch next time with the info you will gather

Take ouitside and put the eggs each on a paper towels and crack the top with a scrrewdriver ot stick . If you see no movement under the memebrane then chip more away untiil you have it opened .See how large they are. or what yoiu have .It can help your next hatch to know what happened
Sorry it was so disapointing..WE all have that happen sometimes.

Day 26, no movement when candled - I'd say they're dead. When you candled, were there any veins above the air sac? Did they look as though they were drained out? Any shadowing in the air sac?
