Once I hit day 25 I give up hope, and toss the eggs.

Get a bowl of warm water, put the eggs into it one at a time. If the egg moves in the water there's still hope, dead calm means just that! It makes the two hatched that much more precious!

If you candled and did not see much and are thinking they were not fertile, you should remove the eggs and clean out your incubator. You can tell if your eggs are fertile by day 7-10. You should see a large air cell on the large end of the egg and the rest should be very dark. The float test is good but unnecessary if the eggs did not develop.
