Ok the electricity went off....well I posted about this before so I will just get to the point! The incubator got too hot..... well that was a last thrusday today my eggs have been in there for 12 days. I could not see movement or clear veins so I REALLY do not want these eggs to eplode or stink up my house! SO I cracked 3 open none of the chicks were moving. If the eggs would have been ok would I have seen movement? None of the eggs had a odor. I could see a very small chicken. I put the rest of the eggs back in the incubator until I could find out some more info! Thanks for your help!

i would leave the other eggs becuse male eggs die easyer than females so those 3 could have ben male and the rest female

I agree...give them a chance...you never know. Give it a week to see if there is progress in the egg. I've had temps get too high and chicks that still hatch. Good luck!

How high did it get?
If you opened the egg and didnt see movment then it was probably dead or it would have moved somewhat.
Yes,Put them back in and at day 17 check again ONLy 5 more days may as well..Some may be alive and grow.
By then the chicks should take up most of the egg if they are ok. Better than opening some and killing it if it isnt dead now.They can blow up but in 7 hatches and left most in late... i have even left weeping ones in for a few days ..nothing has blown up.
Guess it happens, but not worth throwing a life away if there is one that doesnt make it.
Dont put the bad ones or iffy in lock down though.
