Question about eggs in incubator on day 25

[bburn]

I can't complain. I had a great hatch. I have 32 in the brooder out of 41. One light bulb at lockdown. One blood ring. And one chick I had to cull.

I have six eggs left in the incubator. The last two that hatched were in there yesterday morning when I got up.

My problem is: when do I give up? what do I do with the eggs?

I do not feel the need to do an 'eggtopsy'.

So....what do I do with the last six and when do I unplug?

Go ahead and candle what you have left. If you don't see movement, you might as well throw them out.

I agree candle and then throw out, we had one out of 23 not hatch the other day, we couldn't see anything so we gave it another day and half and then tosed it.

...and I did it and one was moving.....could not believe it....will wait until tomorrow.

Blue egg could not see in.
Darker eggs could not see.

You know I think the hardest thing would be to go throw them in the woods and hear a cheep! (ugh)

So, it won't hurt to give them another day......nobody is stinking yet. Checked really good a while ago!

That's great, I hope he makes it out!

Thanks everyone....I hope something happens soon. Just seems strange.
