I would give them another day or two. If your temperature gets low sometimes it takes them longer to hatch.

I am behind in reading so not sure what day you are on.
I always wait at least 25 days.......................sometimes can be a little slow.
I had one hatch on day 27...................named it 27............

If I had not been to busy to clean the incubator.it would have been in the garbage can..............
Also, I do not always see or hear anything from eggs before hatch........
My experience being that some do and some are sneaky. Just pop out of their shell.................
Good Luck

I had one of my RIR babies hatch. Out of 30! And that was assisted! I have another that I assisted, but am still waiting for it to come around, not sure if it will. These air sacs were ridiculous! Saddle air sacs. Some up one side, some up both. Not much room for a baby to turn and zip. They suffocate if not assisted early. I only had 4 go into lock down. Two were already gone by the time I decided to go in. Darn. Not much room in those eggs at all for the babies. At least I have this one, and, the guy sent me 30 more eggs. Free of charge! They are looking so much better! I think I'm going to have a lot of RIR babies! And, it is going to be so nice to not have to assist.
My bantam Favorelle is supposed to go into lock down tomorrow with the eggs I put under her. I also have some in the bator from the same batch. They will go into lock down, and they should do well..again, will be so nice to not have to assist! They came from a near by town and in a car. Nice air sacs!
So, I think it will be a June hatch I will have with them, unless some decide to hatch a day early. Possible, some are bantam eggs. May go into the June hatch a long? :d

*Update*

It's been over 9 hours since I found the crushed egg. The chick is still OKAY and holding on for dear life. Still hasn't absorbed it's yolk sac, So I've got it in my hatcher at 95-101 degrees and 45-75% humidity. It's still several days early, but I'm hoping it'll be okay.

Mine are in lockdown now. Still have 9 but I am not hopeful. Going to the swap Saturday, hopefully I will have chicks when I get home!
