It's 21 days and my eggs havent hatched.

It has been 21 days and my eggs haven't hatched. I don't have a clue what is happening and they've
been candled and there is chickens inside, but no movement as of yet. Can anyone help?

The same thing happened with my first batch, and we still dont know why... we thinks its either they were too old when we got them or something with the heat or humidity happened

Be patient. Twenty one days is the average not the absolute time to hatch. If your box ran a few tenths cool they may take until twenty two days or even twenty three.

Just make sure the air flow is good, the humidity in the right range, and leave it alone. If you candled before lockdown and they appeared viable you should get at least some to hatch.

Thanks for your help They are squeaking now... is this a good sign or not?

Dead eggs don't squeak or chirp. Sounds hopeful to me.

I agree!! If they're alive they will squeak!! Good luck!
