Why can you see into the air cell on day 20.... You shouldn't be candling then. You shouldn't be opening the bator then. The drop in humidity can dry out the membrane so it's too tough for them to break or dry an already pipped chick to the side of the shell so it can't move. Entire hatches can be lost by opening the bator after day 18. All you can do is make sure your humidity is correct and wait. Majority of my hatches have been silent. No peeping and no rocking eggs until a chick is out. Even after they've pipped I rarely hear or see anything until the first one hatches and starts screaming it's head off about being alone.
