Urgent Help Needed

They are Pekins. It was at 55% but I raised it on the last few days. I saw it last night be red, then clear and now yellow inside the egg.
Do you have a picture of your eggs candled? The egg should be mostly dark by now excluding the air cell which will appear a yellow/white depending on the color of light you are using to candle. You cannot tell what color the membrane is without the shell being cracked. The one way the membrane can dry out is if it's exposed to air. Also the air cell is supposed to increase in size with development so it should be larger now than when you first started. Depending on how dark the egg is you will not always see movement at the end or hear peeping.

Should I give it another couple of days and then see what is needed?

Did you have a calibrated analog thermometer and hygrometer inside the incubator from the start? Yes I would give it a few more days. My first time hatching I had a duckling hatch almost a week later than the others. Do you have a picture of the eggs being candled? That would make it easier to know at what stage the air cell is at and if there are any signs of early death.

Keep us updated, on how your hatch goes.
Hey, it's day 29 and nothing. My incubator temperature dropped, weirdly, I think they are dead due to the. I will invest in a better incubator and try again. Any recommendations for a good incubator?

So sorry. Do you have any updated candling pictures? Could you post a few candling pictures holding the flashlight from the small end?, and other angles?

The Nurture Right 360 is one of the best incubators for the price.
