I have two eggs that I have been incubating and they where growing I could see them moving around on the 17th day. Now it is the 29th day and still no sign of hatching or movement … :( i checked them tonight and this is what they looked like.

I'm a chicken person myself, but i'm guessing these are duck eggs?
I've heard that duck eggs take a while to hatch, so patience is key. The first picture looks like the chick hasn't internally pipped yet, maybe wait a bit longer?
You could make a little safety hole in the top of the egg just to be on the safer side though.

All the best!:D
 
If they are chicken eggs, it's impossible for the eggs to hatch. Chicken eggs hatch in usually 21 days, sometimes a maximum of 24 days.

Duck eggs take 28 days to hatch, sometimes a little more or less.
 
They are chicken eggs.
In that case, they will not hatch.

Chickens take 21 days to hatch.

Sorry if I'm repeating any information...

29 days is way too long for a chick to hatch. The chicks either died early or couldn't make it out of the eggs.

Sorry this happened. Good luck with your next hatch ❤️ (if you are planning to have one).

edit: if you end up opening the eggs, beware that they WILL SMELL, as they are 8 days past hatch day... again, good luck with all. I hope your flock is doing well
 
I had a friends hatch at 30 days which I have never heard until then so I left them. I have never incubated eggs but I had a hawk get one of my roosters and his hen had just laid these eggs so I hoped I could get one of his babies it was so weird that they just stopped with how much they were moving just a few days before 21 days. Is that normal?

It is not normal, per se, but it does happen once in a while. If the temperature and humidity were at a stable level the entire incubating process, then it was not your fault.
I certainly do not believe that someone hatched an egg at 30 days, but that is very interesting if it is true. Maybe I live under a rock and have never seen/heard of that, but I doubt it.
