Remind me of what day the eggs are on? Better yet, what day and time did you set them?

Incubation too long
old eggs
shipping stress
some breeds take longer

are causes but like MC said, it can just take longer sometimes.
I set them on June 2nd, and I'm pretty sure it was in the morning, but I could be wrong. The oldest eggs in there were only a few days old (all from the fridge.) The rooster was an EE, and the hens were EE, RSLs, Buff Orpington, RIRs, and Barred Rocks. I'm not sure if any eggs were from the BRs, though.

What do you see when you candle? They are 4 days late if set on June 2, 2016. I have never had one hatch that late.

Can you hear chirping or see movement?

No chirping or movement ...... eggs are mostly dark 'cept one that's only about halfway dark and has something floating in it. I was pretty sure that one was dead, but not according to the float test.

I was going to respond to this, but I wanted to look something up first. While I was researching something, I happened upon a fact that I was not told during my pregnancies. It is one of those "little-known facts" apparently. A human baby is not actually due in 40 weeks. They are due in 38 to 42 weeks. For all the people that were confused about "nine months"…
So, skip all the stuff I was going to say. It still relates, but I am still digesting what I read.

Well, I have an idea. Slowly "assist" an egg. Start chipping away at the shell in the air sac. If the chick is still alive, you can stop when you see trouble. Otherwise, you're just doing an eggtopsie.

@DuckGirl77 Yes, this is good advice. After 4 days late, it is time to see what is going on inside the eggs.

For the next hatch, get a brinsea spot check thermometer and adjust the temp of your incubator.

That's a good idea! Does it matter that none have pipped internally, though?

Alright, will do!

That is why I posted a link instead of spelling it out!

The whole thin is an amazing story though. The Clinician that discovered that H. Pylori caused ulcers presented a paper in the late 1970's. He was laughed off of the stage and called a Quack by Linus Pauling among others. He could not get funding for human trials so infected himself and then cured himself.

....still the Medical community would not believe that Ulcers were mostly(like 95% or so) caused by H. Pylori. There is still a lot or resistance even though the AMA finally added it as the accepted cause and anti antibiotics as the standard treatment..In 2007! Good God that is nearly 30 years of Quackery by the medical profession! Seriously folks, almost all stomach ulcers are cured in two weeks and could have been for 30 years...:mad:

I learned about H. Pylori as a new nurse back in '92. The doc who taught me about it was, as you mentioned, considered a quack. It was his belief that it would not become accepted in the world of medicine as a cause of ulcers because the drug companies did not want to lose billions of dollars to be made selling antacids, H2 blockers like Pepcid, Tagamet and Zantac, and PPIs like Prilosec, Protonix, and Nexium. RIP Dr. Z.
