Incubating advice. Should I give up on the entire batch

So, I opened my incubator on Sunday to candle my eggs (one week in), and turned off my egg turner. I didn't realize it was still off until tonight when I checked them again. They don't appear to have developed any more (I could be wrong though). Seeing as they haven't been turned in the last 5 days, should I just assume they're not going to hatch and give up on the dozen eggs currently in the incubator?

Please let me know what you think. I can get pics if needed. I think we're now officially at day 11, and haven't been turned since day 6.

Sad.
 
OH, I would NOT give up yet. I just read a post about someone who set up the bator for her grandson and he forgot all about it and never turned a egg one. He had most to hatch. I'd just turn the turner back on and wait. Re-candle on day 18 when you are ready for Lock down and see what you have. Even then you never know. Give them till day 22 at least.
