When do eggs internally pip?

[LynnaePB]

Nothing has happened yet, im getting a bit worried..

I'm sorry they are taking their time, I understand why you'd be anxious. There is still a good chance they are still fine, hopefully this is the case.

Were these local eggs or shipped?

Local eggs, they are very small tho.

Local is definitely better than shipped. If they are pullet eggs and that is why the are especially small then you may run into more issues but usually they still hatch okay.

If you'd like to stay more hands off and go with what is typically advised it's probably best to just keep waiting and avoid anymore candling for now.

I personally am very hands on and I like to know around when my eggs internally pip so I can be better prepared to intervene if needed. I'm lucky in that I have an incubator where I can position the eggs so I can sort of candle through the window without opening the incubator. In your situation I'd probably just carefully candle again to assess how they are progressing but that's just me.

they are silkie, frizzle and amercano mixes, i will candle them, last time i candled i put a blanket over my head and the incubator because it keeps a bit more of the heat and humidity in than it did when i just quickly opened it. The humidity is at 70, and the blanket lets me see better since its darker lol

It can be hard to tell in pictures but I'm a bit concerned by how they are looking. That yellowish color near the air cell is worrisome (It should have a nice rosy glow with some visible blood vessels). Last time you candled you mentioned seeing some blood vessels? Do you still see them clearly?
