Incubation/hatch question

[journey's end]

I had 4 jersey giant eggs incubating. I'm on day 23 today. Last night, day 22, one chick hatched. 2 more hatched today. There's still one left. I took it out thinking it was dead. Candled and it's still alive. I'm almost through day 23!! Why hasn't it hatched yet? The temp is a stable 99-99.5. Humidity is fine too.

Is it hopeless for this little guy? Or do jersey giants take a little longer to incubate?

All chicken eggs take the same amount of days to hatch but in each batch some can take a few days longer than the rest. i would give it a few more days.
good luck!

The last one pipped! Can't wait for the rest of the day to go by.

when they've hatched of course.

and that's very late and good for your patience they still have a chance.

Congratulations on the chicks

Maybe it's a Giant thing...I'm hatching them with you with the same story.1 came out on day 21 like a good chick then 2 in the middle of day 22 and nothing out of the last one so I did a quick peek it was alive so finally last night it pipped and came out-day 23 it's having a hard time getting upright.
I know it's not a temp thing or a humidity issue-same as I always hatch at Never much luck with real strong and healthy chicks here after 22 days but I'm giving him a chance.
Good luck on your last ones

Oh no Giants don't normally take any longer to hatch..these are not my first ones just my longest ones and always the biggest ones
