Sooo! On April 11th I found one of my bantams sitting on an egg. so I put a mark on it and marked my calendar. In the meantime they all laid a total of 7 eggs. They are all sitting on the eggs. As of May 2nd it was 21 days. On the 5th I found a baby chick under one hen and one out of nest dead. Today I found one chick dead pecked to death. There are 4 more left. The one I marked is still in there???? That should have been first. So I candled them and when I turn a couple of them side ways it looks like liquid!??? Does that mean they are no good?

I'd say they are no good. If there is a chick in the egg my guess is that bacteria got into the egg. A brown liquid will fill the egg around the chick if this is the problem. It also could have been that the embryo was an early quitter. And the yolk and egg white is what you are seeing.
