Want confirmation I've pulled the right eggs

[nicollee]

I've searched for three days, and there are so many threads. I CAN NOT find the info I need.
We placed the eggs in the incubator late evening on June 13.
As of yesterday, I had two eggs that were clear. Please confirm these were not going to hatch.

Assumed hatch day would be the 4th or 5th should I stop turning the eggs today? or tomorrow?
THanks... I just need someone to "hold my hand" as I have not successfully hatched eggs in 3 years

If they are clear and there's no dark area(the chick) then they are empty and will not hatch. A picture when you candle would be a great help, but it sounds infertile to me.

Agree with Husker above

Yes, stop turning today( I would have stopped yesterday-day 18) but it's not make or break...... and raise humidity if air cells are the right size.

How do I know if the air cells are the right size? and are they fixable if they are not?

You candle the eggs and mark them at the beginning and during incubation.
It can help you adjust your humidity levels during incubation,
but not much you can do on Day 18.

Thank-you , so at this point I just have to hope the Brinsea worked well.
I turned the rotation off. should I start hearing pips within the next day?

 

[nicollee]

And I assume it is too late to candle again?

If you hear anything at all it is too late to candle. No sounds, you should be ok to do it. Very clean hands at this point with any touching and this should be a hands off point, candle and don't touch again unless it is an emergency.

I usually candle on day 18, remove any duds, make the last marking of air cells, then disable the turner and raise the humidity.
Birds could start internal pipping and peeping, or external pipping, tomorrow or within the next 3 days depending on development and average temps throughout the incubation.
