I have two eggs left in my incubator one bantam and one normal. Yesterday they were rocking but have since stopped. It's day 23 today and these appear to be alive but haven't pipped. What do I do??

I candled them today (Day 24) and there was no signs of pipping or movement inside the eggs. They stopped moving on 22 so I'm worried they are dead. Both eggs are so full you can only see the air sac.I have two eggs left in my incubator one bantam and one normal. Yesterday they were rocking but have since stopped.

I'll leave them until tomorrow. They were rocking but I haven't seen that since the morning of day 23. The egg was just black when I candled it so I'm hoping i just couldn't see it.If you haven't seen movement unfortunately they probably have died. You can chip away at the shell over the air sac to confirm. I'm sorry - I hope I'm wrong but this situation doesn't have many happy endings if there's no movement inside. Often for some reason or another the chick was unable to break the shell and ran out of air.

Whether to help or not is a personal decision- some choose to let the egg be. Personally I will help and the majority of the ones I've helped go on to live normal happy lives- again ... 100% up to you whether to do it- the article is a fantastic guide.

I played it sounds of chicks chirping inside eggs and it started rocking. I don't know why it's so late hatching. Will it need help now?If you haven't seen movement unfortunately they probably have died. You can chip away at the shell over the air sac to confirm.
