Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I've had one take 3 days longer. If this is a chicken egg that takes 21 days, and it's past 3 full days late, and you can't hear or see anything, I'd break into it. Tap a hole in the big end and start peeling the shell away. Stop if it moves or peeps and put it back in the incubator.

Here's a great article about how to assist:

Does it look ok to you?

I have no idea unfortunately. I’ve never hatched eggs and don’t know much about it but I hope it makes it!!!

I have read the article now thank you. I dont see any internal pip and i didnt hear anything from the egg when i candled it to take the pics.
When you say the big end you mean the opppsite end to the air sac?
