So, today is day 22. 20/38 eggs have hatched. Everyone has been moved to the brooder now. I dont hear anymore peeping or see any rocking eggs in the incubator. I am thinking I will give up on whats left by Wednesday morning (day 24) what are your thoughts?

Im adding some pictures of my new loves

Candle them all and see if they're full of baby chick. If they aren't, toss those. If you see a baby chick that's internally pipped, I'd give it a couple more days just in case.

What have the temps been through incubation?

Temps were at 99.5 for the whole hatch across 3 different thermometers
 
As Fishkeeper says, one at a time, but keep a mist bottle of warm water ready to lightly mist and bring humidity up if it drops much. It has been known to take up to 25 days to hatch. Maybe your eggs were in a cooler part of the incubator and is a little slower :fl
Good Luck:fl cute little fuzz butts:love:jumpy
