If you listen to the egg can you hear any scraping or peeping? Or see any movement when candling?

Is your incubator calibrated?

5 Are clear or dark on one side. 6th is all dark but quiet. Incubator is calibrated

The clear or partially clear ones probably stopped developing
The all dark one may not hatch either if it’s all quiet, you could open it up to check if it’s still alive

I will try once my dogs are in bed

Go slow, and if you see blood stop. Blood means it is still alive. Dab with tissue.

It is good to have a small wire basket on hand so if you have a draggy hatch the last chick will not get pecked or trampled by the first borns. I also use second hand cloth place mats instead of wood chips. when soiled i toss.

It died very young, egg just had a thick shell

I have 8 healthy chicks, and more eggs in my diy incubator
