My hen has been sitting on her 7 eggs i checked them 2 days ago they showed signs of movement inside the egg. But today is day 25 and i haven't even seen a pipped egg or a tiny crack nothing they are still fully closed anyone know why. Thanks
 
Does she let you handle them easily? If so, take them gently, hold to your ear and tap lightly with a fingernail. You should hear taps back.

Have you had any colds snaps or was she unable to sit for a longer time?
It has gotten a bit bellow 40° here but we have a plastic around the coop and the run is open. She is in the nesting box she bearly gets up to drink and eat and goes back in
