Tonight around 9 pm will start day 31 of incubation. I have 13 eggs in an incubator (little giant). I've been in lockdown since day 26. Being nervous I candled them today. I've done my best not to disturb them. I'd say about 10 of them there is definite movement. You can even hear sounds coming from the eggs. However, 3 of them are not faring well. I'm worried that it's almost day 31 and I've no pips. Should I be worried? They are at 98.5 and humidity is up and down. I'm in Arkansas and we are on our 3rd day of storms/floods/tornadoes. It's been raining off and on for over a week now. Is this normal for them to go so long? Is there anything else that I can do? I've read all that I can online before an during incubation. I was expecting something to have happened on day 28. A pip at least. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I do have a broody EE right now that wants desperately to sit on some eggs. Would it be an option to move them to her?
