Were they moving around it shell? Or could she tell? If eggs are developing inside and there's movement they may just need more time. I think if nothing happens by Monday I would recheck eggs to make sure they are still viable.

When ready to hatch they will be moving around and making peeps.

we just opened our remaining eggs we had 6 but only 2 hatched, the others were fully developed not sure what happen temp was always good humidity was always good. Should I had opened them back when the other 2 hatched?

They should have distinct blood vessels or orange red tint..If they are close to hatch you may only see the air sac and rest filled with reddish or orange. If it's dark yellow that usually means they are not alive I'm gonna find you some pics. Gimme a minute

I'm not sure . Might send her in one more time tonight when Venus comes out to eat and tell her what to look for. I'm sure theres a utube video somewhere.

I'm almost positive they look like the good ones. Though the air sacks on ours seem bigger.

That would be normal for older egg. Here's another photo for help

Daughter will be home from school soon and I'll talk her into heading back in. I hope they are pipping and I've worried for nothing
