My Button Eggs Were Due Two Days Ago! Still Haven't Pipped! HELP!

Quote:
Sadly hun this may be why they arent pipping... Each time you open the bator you are letting the humidity out and possibly shrink wrapping the buttons a lil at a time.... This is why you should have a hatcher if you are going to stagger hatches..

Also what day are your other eggs on??? YOu may be able to not turn for a day our two if they are only a few days in or a few days from lockdown.. OHH or better yet just turn your bator .. Gently angle it enough to slide a small piece of wood under on side with out rolling the eggs everywhere....

I have had staggered hatches work well by doing this very thing. JJ shared about hatching in egg flats I just tried it my last hatch out of 6 eggs due to hatch I had 6 eggs hatch found 6 baby Bobs in my bator this morning

Thanks you all for trying to help me!
Okay, Please try to understand. This is a "HomeMade" incubator and it has to widows where I can see threw to see if the eggs are hatching or not, so the only way I can tell is if I open the door. The eggs I stuck in there have only been in there a few days. Should I just throw them out? Or should I stick them under a broody?
