Oh no.
Have you candled to see if the eggs were developing?
Did you buy a separate thermometer and humidity gauge to calibrate?
Not the ones that came with the bator.

Can you candle an egg now in a dark room and get a clear photo of it?

Oh no.

Unfortunately no I did not. I have a spare temp gauge but not humidity one. Yes I candles them and all were doing fine then I locked them down Saturday night.

Do not try and open an egg.
If they have not externally pipped they are not ready to come out and if you try and take it out too early you will kill it.
