If you are sure they are alive leave them till day 26 then I would give up. Most of the time they are dead after day 26 but who knows.

I think you should try and push up the humidity in your incubator

Be sure your humidity is plenty high. Are they pipped? If not, I would not do anything right now. It's entirely possible that the temp has been a bit lower than you think and it will take them a couple of extra days.
