Sebright eggs.
It's day 23 and still no pips but all 5 chicks are still moving around in the eggs when I candled them earlier today. The humidity is where it should be as I have the AcuRite Indoor Digital Thermometer & Hygrometer in the incubator.
How long should I wait before I toss them?
 
What is the humidity at?
Is the inside of the egg moving on it's own if you hold the egg really still or is it moving when you move the egg?

Can you take a clear picture or video while candling one?

I always keep lockdown humidity at 65% as I read it's recommended.
I hold the eggs as still as possible and there's movement. Some of them even jerk around suddenly
I'll try to get video of me candling them
 
It may be time to try assisting. They may be shrink wrapped or sticky which is causing them not to hatch. I would try to help that last one in case there is a chance of saving it before it dies.
