SHOULD I DO IT?

[Megpj123]

hi, my incubator has some eggs still inside ( 4 polish bantam eggs and 2 quail eggs) now they were meant to hatch between Tuesday to Thursday last week, but they haven't yet and so I left them in the incubator one polish bantam hatched on Saturday but it had some difficulties and it died soon later. however, know I have 3 polish bantams and 2 quails eggs left and it's now Tuesday and I haven't seen any progress on the shells, I decided to do a float test and they all floated but I don't think any of them moved while in the water, then I decided to do the candle method and the chickens had some of the egg clear but the quails are hard to see. I don't know whether to take them out or leave them in there? since it been 7-10 days since there meant to be hatch day?

If you didn't see any life in the candling method then i would say they weren't viable. 7 to 10 days past due date is quite a while, i wouldn't leave them much longer then your just going to have a bunch of stink bombs. Sorry about your hatch

I’m sorry your hath went so poorly
Candle again for any movement and you could always bury them if you don’t feel comfortable throwing them in the garbage.
