Incubator lid fell off day 21

[SilverBirds]

NEVER put an egg that may be alive in water. The water can seep through the pores and the chick could drawn. Next time, do simple candling. Look for movement and internal candling.

I agree with everything Duck Mommy said. Keep a close watch on them and try to prevent your cat from jumping on the incubator again.

I’m not sure how long it was off for I quickly checked one egg in warm water there was movement in that one egg but didn’t want to leave them out any longer to check the rest
I’m not sure how to go about the humidity as it doesn’t have a humidity count on this machine

Just to note, it isn't wise to water test them. Candling with light is less risky, water testing them is really a last resort, and even then the results aren't always reliable.

Don't beat yourself up, that is extremely unlikely, its just a pointer for the future

Eggs should be fine, as long the lid wasn't off for a full 16-24 hours.
