how long should I wait for the last eggs to hatch?

First timer here. I put the eggs in on April 4th at 5 pm. Chicken eggs. Saturday was day 21. So this is day 23.

9 hatched so far starting at 4 pm Saturday, 3 Sunday and 5 today! Two more are pipped. 9 are not pipped at all.

Thank you

This is one of the pips.

That pip is pretty low. It might be malpositioned. I would get a mist bottle full of warm water, open the incubator and take out the unpipped eggs, and mist the remaining eggs. Candle the eggs and look for internal or external pips. Mark any eggs that are internally pipped, and Mark any that aren't. I would give them at least until day 25. Here's an internal pip

This is how it came out. We picked a few pieces of shell and then put it right back in to hatch on its own

Oh, that's a lot of unabsorbed yolk sack. It was definitely not ready. Take out all of the other chicks. If they peck it it will rupture the sack and the baby will die. You need to get a cup or bowl, make a really soft little bed of toilet paper and put the baby in. Can you get a half of an egg and gently lower the yolk inside? I would worry about it sticking to the paper and drying out. The outlook is not too good. I hope the baby will be ok. Try to put the yolk back in the shell half so it looks like the baby is back in the egg kinda. I'll tag @WVduckchick hopefully she can help.

Thanks so much. That's what we thought.

I didn't break the egg just picked two chunks by its mouth because the farm where I bought them suggested that. Do you think it would have all absorbed if I didn't bother it?

Thank you

It probably would have. Use this guide for any assistance. Actually there's 2. Here they are.
