Update on my earlier egg issues. And my latest panic. Hatching is here

[got flogged]

So as some of you might remember, i had a hen abandon her nest early. Had no bator or a clue what to do or if any egg stood a chance. I rigged up something and put them in.Only a few eggs are still alive. Threw out ones that stunk. Tomorrow is 21days from initial sit. Just heard some chirping. No cracks though but a few chirps. Not gonna mess with them but any advice or signs of trouble to look for. Like how long they can chirp before cracking starts. This was a messed up situation from day 1. So i would like to have some idea of what is ahead. Thanks again everyone. I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I usually have them start pipping and hatching shortly after I start hearing them. Just wait is all you can do now I try to keep the humidity up around 70%..
