NEED HELP! Hen stopped sitting on her eggs on day 19

Sorry I wasn't online! That container should be good. Make sure the lid isn't on all the way, but add a dish of water or a wet paper towel for humidity.

Sounds like you're doing everything you can. At day 19, they're pretty much done developing and still stand a chance of hatching. Humidity is super important right now, you could put another dish like they eggs are in with a wet paper towel in the container with them to help with humidity.
Good luck!

I added a damp towel on the bottom of the eggs and a bowl with water in the box. They are like 23 days old

If you have a thermometer, that's the only way to be sure you're at the right temperature. It looks like a fair attempt in an emergency, and it could work. If you can, try to set it up so the damp cloths are near but not directly touching the eggs. The way you have it with the lid ajar is good, you want to retain heat and moisture but still allow ventilation.
They could make it. Fingers crossed for you.

One egg has a small hole! I feel like these fought to live they haven't been sat on for 3 days only at night hope everything goes well

It's pipping!!!!!! Hooray!!!!!! Don't interfere. Be prepared to get more chicks if only one hatches. These will need to be brooder chicks as mama won't take them at this point.

When you candled them, what day were they on? Did they look like the corresponding time on this chart?

I am totally following this thread! This is so exciting! Do you have somewhere were you can get more chicks of ratios baby if it is the only one to hatch? You down want an only chick.

You especially don't want an only chick if you're hatching them-they can imprint on you and think you're mama.

Eggs don't read the guidelines of when they're supposed to hatch-plenty will hatch late. You're doing a great job for them!
