What do I do if none of my eggs in my bator hatch as of the 21st day? I have not opened it and the temp has been an average of 99.5 to 100 degrees.
Please help

Have you candled them to check for movement? What is the humidity?
Some one told me I could give it another 3 or 4 days if you have movement. I had a few of mine hatch on day 23 and 24.
 
Is it a still air bator or circulated air? If circ air, your temps are perfect. If still air, they are a couple of degrees too low. I never them go past Day 22. Only once did I allow one to go to Day 23 and only because it was a valuable chick. Some wait a longer time, but I don't want a very late hatching chick.
In the future, I'd suggest candling at least one time so you do not have an early dying embryo start to rot in the bator. A broody hen gets off the nest once or twice a day, sometimes for an hour, so it's no big deal to candle a time or two.
