I am in shock. There are still developing chicks in there, but TWO WEEKS??? Some are dark brown eggs and I can't tell what's going on. In some light ones I can see beating hearts. Please, tell me what to expect -- will they all be stuck in their shells? Die on the last day or in pipping? Anything I can do at this point to save at least some of them?

And yes, I turned the rack on immediately upon noticing it.

Psssst -- don't tell my husband!

Im not sure what to tell you exceot Im wishing you good luck-maybe by turning the turner on now will help out any little bit in the last week-or 4 days at least? good luck~​

I have absolutely no advice for you-having never hatched anything before, but good luck!!
 
Raising hand! I did that, but I didn't forget to turn it on, I accidently unplugged the darn thing less than halfway through and didn't realize it until I went to take them out to put in the hatcher and grabbed a cord that wasn't plugged in! Think positive, mine did pretty well, I sprayed the eggs with a mist of water to help out with being stuck.
 
Hey! Hang in there...Hope for the best. I have learned from candling that they are still very small even on day 18. We'll look foward to hearing how they did.

They'll be fine...just make sure your humidity is high enough so they don't stick any more than they have to.
