    I have some super dark eggs that I put in the incubator on 6-15. They should have started hatching on 7-6. I can't candle them as they are too dark. None are pipping or zipping or nothing. How much longer should I keep them before tossing? Oh- these were shipped eggs so I don't have that much hope for them.

    I just really don't want them to explode and kill the bantam eggs that are in with them (and about a week or two younger depending on which egg)

    I would sniff them. If they don't stink I'd leave them another day but don't hold out much hope at this point.
    Good luck!

    Quote:I agree. I would also like to add I would give them 2 more days.
