October Hatching ... How many are in? I'm due to hatch on 10/17

Still no pips. It is day 21. I am starting to give up hope.

I candled on day 5 and only one of my 21 eggs has veins. One has a round 'blood circle' visible. A couple have peanut sized lumps in them.

One egg was cracked on arrival and they were pretty well packed.

Could the PO have scrambled them all?

First timer here - maybe I need a darker room to candle in...
 
i'm not sure when mine will hatch ~prob within the next few days~ but i'm kinda worried since i had the incubator outside in the barn and since its fall made the temp in the bator really unstable. i candled some a few days ago and saw movement so we will see. all the stories about people having to cull thier chicks has gotten me scared though:(
 
I have 11 new babies so far.......mama hen is still sitting on 5 eggs, 1 was pipping, we will see what tomorrow brings!! So beautiful and such a miracle to see these sweet little puff balls in 21 DAYS, amazing. Claudia/Ohio
 
My Plymouth Rock hen 'Fraggle' is patiently sitting and waiting for 9 eggs to hatch (she ate the 10th one at the beginning of the set). It's my first time, and hers. I've not intervened by turning eggs, just letting nature take its course. She's on day 20 today!!!

The eggs are from show winning Plymouth Light Barred stock, so I'm really hoping there will be little chicks on Sunday. It's Springtime here, with temperatures due to go from 15 today to 27 degrees by the middle of next week. Don't panic, we work with Celcius here!
 
starting day 20...21 eggs. no movement or peeps...much less pips I am hoping for 60-70% I think they will hatch sat or sun...my hatches are slways a couple of days late
 
yesterday was day 21...when i to sleep last night I had one chick and nothing happening in the other eggs, and this morning I had another chick freshly hatched!! yay 2 chicks now!
